Assist/Assoc Professor Health Programs Fixed Term
About The Position
The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at Michigan State University is seeking an Assistant/Associate Professor for a fixed-term Health Programs (HP) appointment. This role involves managing referral cases, supervising and instructing house officers and students, and contributing to scholarly activities and teaching in the candidate's area of expertise. The HP appointment system is dynamic, typically involving a heavier clinical commitment than tenure-track faculty, while still allowing time for teaching and scholarly interests. The extent of involvement in pre-clinical teaching and specialty service leadership will depend on the applicant's strengths. Health Programs faculty have full college voting rights, and collaborative research is acceptable, unlike the independent research expected of tenure-track faculty. Merit evaluations and promotions are based on performance in assigned duties. MSU offers opportunities for collaboration with its Colleges of Human Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine, with support for grant writing and funding. The College of Veterinary Medicine provides faculty development and mentorship programs. MSU's campus is located in East Lansing, offering a low cost of living and access to cultural centers. The surrounding area provides excellent public schools and abundant outdoor recreational activities.
