Midwestern University is a private, not-for-profit organization that provides graduate and professional education in the health sciences. The University has two campuses -- one in Downers Grove, Illinois and the other in Glendale, Arizona. More than 6,000 full-time students are enrolled in graduate programs in osteopathic medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physician assistant studies, physical therapy, occupational therapy, nurse anesthesia, cardiovascular perfusion, podiatry, optometry, clinical psychology, speech language pathology, and biomedical sciences. Over 500 full-time faculty members and 400 staff members are dedicated to the education and development of our students in an environment that encourages learning, respect for all members of the health care team, service, interdisciplinary scholarly activity, and personal growth. The addition of veterinary medicine on the Glendale campus provides an excellent opportunity to train students following the principles of One Health. The first class of 100 students matriculated in August 2014 and the MWU-CVM received full accreditation from the AVMA Council on Education in 2018. 

The Animal Health Institute is the clinical arm of the College of Veterinary Medicine.  It is comprised of the Companion Animal Clinic (CAC), Diagnostic Pathology Center (DPC), and the Equine and Bovine Center (EBC).  Microbiology services are housed in the CAC, a modern and innovative veterinary hospital for small animals, which opened in December 2014. The 111,000 sq. ft. building houses a clinical microbiology laboratory, clinical pathology laboratory, pharmacy, a large and well-equipped surgery teaching laboratory, simulated examination rooms for clinical communications training using standardized clients/patients, and ample conference and small-group meeting rooms.  It also has outstanding patient facilities and equipment, including state-of-the-art surgical, dental, and intensive care suites, and a full-service rehabilitation facility for post-surgical patients.  The Diagnostic Pathology Center is a state-of-the-art pathology facility that includes a 5,300 sq-ft necropsy floor, a gross pathology teaching theatre, a fully equipped histopathology laboratory, an 800 sq-ft BSL3-capable necropsy suite, and 1200 sq ft of classroom/teaching space. The Large Animal Clinic is a large animal teaching facility housing small herds of cattle and horses. This facility includes a clinical skills teaching laboratory hosting a variety of large animal simulators and models, arenas, and live-animal indoor and outdoor teaching and treatment areas. 

We are seeking a faculty member who is excited about participating in the growth of a new veterinary college and having a role in shaping its teaching and clinical programs. While independent research is not a requirement for this position, a certain degree of scholarly activity is expected of all faculty members. Evidence of interest and experience in research will be considered an asset.
