Position Description
The School of Veterinary Medicine at Texas Tech University, located in Amarillo, Texas, invites applications for a full-time, 12-month Assistant Professor in Clinical Pathology position to begin May 2025.

Major/Essential Functions

Contribute to the TTU SVM's instruction, scholarship, and academic and professional service activities. The distribution of effort toward each activity will be individualized for each faculty member and outlined in the letter of appointment.
- It is expected that tenure-track faculty members will establish extramural support of their scholarship, and this will include support for graduate students and opportunities for involvement of professional students. This expectation is proportional to the percentage of effort assigned to scholarship in the letter of appointment.
- Contribute to activities necessary for accreditation from the AVMA COE, other regulatory or accreditation approvals, and admit and deliver the curriculum to the students of the professional degree program.
- Participation in the School's research enterprise and PhD and MS programs
  - Curricular delivery. This includes didactic courses, pre-clinical laboratory instruction, and the diagnostic medicine rotation that occurs during the clinical year.
The curricular framework has been developed based on Competency Based Veterinary Education (CBVE; see www.AAVMC.org), and is designed to be vertically and horizontally integrated.
- Curricular refinement and delivery requires teamwork to effectively integrate various disciplines, and to accomplish desired outcomes.
- Curricular mapping of course-specific learning objectives with curricular outcomes.
- Service as instructor of record for various courses, contributing lectures to other courses, contributing to the clinical rotation, or participating in laboratories.
- Clinical service, for the purpose of veterinary student clinical instruction, may be provided through in-house facilities or through specific private practice sites that serve as clinical learning centers for students. Effort may be directed towards enhancing the clinical year rotation by increasing the clinical caseload; supporting SVM consultation services; advancing the education of veterinary practitioners; and supervision of clinical year students. The TTU SVM does not have a teaching hospital and thus clinical service will be limited as per above.
- Participation on various School committees.
Additional comments:
- The curriculum is grounded on general veterinary practice in rural and regional communities. A central function of subject-matter experts is to provide instruction such that graduates can competently and confidently practice veterinary medicine at a distance from referral hospitals.
- Those with experience in rural and regional community practices will provide important feedback that will inform the admission process, instruction, and continuing education.
