The Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine announces an outstanding opportunity for a full-time clinical track or tenure track faculty position in Small Animal Internal Medicine.

Faculty are also expected to be involved in professional and community outreach, continuing education, committee service, and curriculum development.
