Assistant or Associate Professor of Anesthesiology

36920BR

Position Description
Contributes to the university's mission through teaching, research and service, some variation by academic unit. The Texas Tech University School of Veterinary Medicine (TTU SVM) is seeking to fill a faculty position for a 12-month tenure-track, Assistant professor, hoping to start by September 1st.

Major/Essential Functions
Responsibilities of the Position

• Contribute to the TTU SVMs instruction, scholarship, and service activities. The distribution of effort toward each activity will be individualized for each faculty member and outlined in the letter of appointment.
  • It is expected that tenure-track faculty members will establish extramural support for their scholarship and this will include support for graduate students and opportunities for involvement of professional students. This expectation is proportional to the percentage of effort assigned to scholarship in the letter of appointment.
• Contribute to activities necessary for accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association Council on Education and other regulatory or accreditation approvals. Participate in delivering the curriculum to the students of the professional degree program.
• Development and participation in the Schools research enterprise and PhD program
• Curricular development and related activities. Most curricular development will focus on the two lecture-based anesthesia courses, the Clinical and Professional Skills laboratories where student surgeries will take place, and the clinical rotation for anesthesia.
  • The curricular framework has been developed based on Competency Based Veterinary Education (CBVE; see www.AAVMC.org), and is designed to be vertically and horizontally integrated.
  • Curricular development will require teamwork to effectively develop course syllabi and content relative to this integration, and to accomplish desired outcomes.
  • Curricular mapping of course-specific learning objectives with curricular outcomes.
  • Delivery of the curriculum within the professional program. This might include serving as instructor of record for various courses, contributing lectures to other courses, and/or participating in laboratories.
• Participation in anesthesia instructional delivery in Clinical Skills Laboratories.
• Participation in Clinical Case Presentations courses.
• Clinical service for the purpose of veterinary student clinical instruction may be provided through specific private practice sites that serve as clinical learning centers for students. Effort may be directed towards developing the site in anticipation of instructing students in their clinical year, for example by expanding the clinical caseload, supporting the practice with advanced anesthesia training; advancing the education of veterinary practitioners, supporting SVM faculty providing clinical service, and supervision of clinical year students. The TTU SVM does not have a teaching hospital and thus clinical service will be provided as described above.
• Until such time that it is necessary to create departments (or department-like structures) within the School, the successful candidates will report to an Assistant Academic Dean.
• Participation on various School committees.
• Additional comments:
  • The curriculum is directed toward general veterinary practice in rural agricultural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction such that graduates can competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals.
  • Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform program admissions, instruction, and continuing education.

 

Required Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications
Preference will be given to:

1. Candidates who have a successful track record of or show promise in future teamwork, curricular development, instruction, scholarship, and service.
