Oct 10, 2023 Description
The neurology service at the Foster Hospital for Small Animals (FHSA) and the Hospital for Large Animals (HLA) on the Grafton campus provides care in a multi-specialty teaching hospital setting with 24/7 emergency care. The FHSA caseload is primarily dogs, cats, and exotic species, with approximately 35,000 cases per year. Neurology cases are typically referrals or animals admitted for neurologic emergencies by the emergency service. Clinical service includes shared back-up on-call for neurology residents who consult on emergency cases during nights and weekends; neurosurgery on-call is shared with Orthopedic Surgery. The neurology service is supported by radiology, critical care (24 hours), oncology, medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology, anesthesia, and orthopedic surgery. Available equipment includes a linear accelerator, Toshiba 16-slice CT (with a 160-slice Aquilion Exceed LBis installation planned), 3.0 Tesla MRI, fluoroscopy, scintigraphy, Codman ICP express, and electrodiagnostic equipment for muscle and nerve testing including EEG. Faculty are expected to assist with specialty board review sessions, journal clubs, and other aspects of resident training, including supervision of resident research projects. Clinical faculty are expected to engage in scholarly activity to stay current in the discipline, with opportunities for independent or collaborative research within Tufts and the New England medical community. Clinical track faculty typically devote approximately 30 weeks (~60%) to clinical activity, 5–8 weeks to scholarly activity, 5–8 weeks to teaching, and 4–8 weeks to administrative duties. All scholarly activity is valued in the school’s promotions process. The remainder of the time is available as vacation and university time off (five weeks). Qualifications
Must hold a DVM or equivalent degree. Completion of a residency program in Neurology meeting the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Neurology specialty requirements, or a similar organization, is mandatory. Board certification in neurology (ACVIM-Neurology or European College of Veterinary Neurology) is required at or no later than two years after hire. Competency in neurosurgery is required. Demonstrated interest and aptitude in teaching at all levels is expected. Experience and interest in research relevant to the department or school are assets. Salary will be commensurate with experience. Application Instructions
The start date is negotiable and the search will run until a suitable candidate is identified. Candidates should submit a curriculum vitae and a cover letter describing qualifications, clinical experience and interests, research and scholarly interests, and teaching experience. Address strengths and experiences in diversity and inclusion as it relates to teaching, research, and/or service in the cover letter. Include three references with names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses. Applications should be submitted through the Interfolio link: https://apply.interfolio.com/134256. For questions about the process, contact Dr. Leslie Sharkey at Leslie.Sharkey@tufts.edu.
