About The Position

Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine invites applications for a clinical-track faculty position in Farm Animal General Practice. This is an exciting opportunity for a farm animal veterinarian who enjoys teaching, values hands-on clinical training, and wants to help shape the next generation of day-one-ready veterinarians in a collaborative and growing veterinary college. The successful candidate will join a dedicated team of faculty members responsible for delivering the farm animal component of the DVM curriculum. This position is ideal for a clinician-educator who enjoys working directly with students in a practical, service-oriented teaching environment and who is interested in helping build and strengthen farm animal clinical education.
