The Shreiber School of Veterinary Medicine of Rowan University is seeking an equine/large animal veterinarian to join our program’s large animal ambulatory service based out of our Glassboro, NJ campus. The selected candidate will provide comprehensive routine and emergency care to primarily equine patients.  While a smaller portion of our caseload, willingness to provide emergency care to other large animal species (small ruminants, camelids, pet pigs, cattle) in the field setting as part of on shared on-call responsibilities is required. Successful candidates will have demonstrated expertise in equine practice through a minimum (2) years of relevant practice experience and/or completion of a related internship or residency program. Practice management skills such as a working knowledge of the operations of ambulatory service and ability to effectively manage support staff are preferred.  Responsibility for providing after-hours emergency coverage will be shared across members of the service.

The successful candidate(s) will advance the academic mission of the School through their contributions to clinical service and instruction of DVM students, veterinary technology students, and house officers on field service rotations. This opening is for a Clinical Instructor, Clinical Assistant Professor, or Clinical Associate Professor role (rank commensurate with experience).  While research and classroom instruction are not an integral component of clinical track roles, we welcome candidates interested in contributing to the research and teaching mission of the institution.  Specifically, participation in clinical skills teaching of DVM students during their pre-clinical years is expected of clinicians on all services, and teaching clinical DVM students on clerkships is a significant focus of the role. 

The salary and benefits are competitive and commensurate with qualifications and experience.
