The North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is seeking to hire a full-time veterinarian with primary clinical responsibility for animals housed under the Teaching Animal Unit (TAU) and the NC State CVM equine facility at Reedy Creek. Both facilities are dynamic teaching labs for veterinary students to learn husbandry, production management, and routine procedures used in livestock production. Students are able to observe and work with normal animals in a real farm setting. Species include poultry, swine, dairy/beef cattle, small ruminants, and horses. Animals housed within this program are also used for agricultural research.

The successful candidate will join two other full time veterinarians in the Laboratory Animal Resources department (LAR). The mission of LAR is to provide NCSU faculty with optimal animal resources at the least practical cost. The term “animal resources” includes not only animal housing facilities, but also animal husbandry services, veterinary care, technical services, expertise in teaching/research/ animal technology and medicine, and assurance of compliance with regulatory requirements and institutional policies for animal care and use.

The college is committed to practicing inclusivity, making community a priority and promoting innovation. We embrace effective leadership and we champion personal and professional growth.

This position will specifically be responsible for oversight, management, and veterinary services for all TAU animals and the CVM horses at Reedy Creek. This includes the handling, housing, and care of large animal species; serving as a liaison between LAR and TAU teaching faculty; and assistance with oversight of livestock in research through collaborations with investigators and the IACUC.
