What are the responsibilities and job description for the Medical Oncologist Faculty Position position at MSU - Michigan State University?
**About the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences**
We are committed to educating the next generation of veterinary professionals and improving the lives of animals and humans. Our department offers graduate programs, a residency program, a DVM degree, and specialty continuing education for veterinarians.
**Job Summary**
We invite applications for a renewable faculty appointment in Medical Oncology at the Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor level, in our Health Programs appointment system or Tenure System, depending on the qualifications and interests of the candidate.
The successful candidate will join an existing medical oncologist, 3 dedicated medical oncology service nurses, 1 medical oncology service coordinator, and a radiation therapist in a state-of-the-art facility that provides comprehensive treatment of veterinary oncology patients.
**Responsibilities**
Responsibilities will include management of referral cases, supervision and clinical instruction of house officers and students, and a commitment to scholarly contributions in the area of expertise. Participation in pre-clinical teaching curriculum and contributing to specialty service leadership are also available.
Our Health Programs (HP) and Tenure System positions generally have a 50-75% clinical appointment for the HP track and 30-50% clinical appointment for the tenure track. Both tracks have equal voting rights; however, tenure stream faculty are expected to have a primary research focus, while HP faculty may have a collaborative research focus.
Effort distributions across clinical service, teaching, and scholarly activities are negotiable with the Department Chairperson.
**Research Opportunities**
Michigan State University has outstanding research programs that provide ample opportunity for collaboration with faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine and with human medical schools on campus.
Support is available for grant writing and processing submissions, alongside internal funding opportunities through endowed research funds.
**Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion**
The mission of the college is to be inclusive as we learn, discover, heal, and protect. We aim to identify, attract, and retain talented individuals reflecting the diversity of our populations.
We encourage our community to share ideas to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion.
