Advanced clinical training, advanced academic degree, and/or specialty status in a relevant discipline is/are preferred and required for a tenure track position.  The successful candidate will join an Ophthalmology Service that includes two ACVO board certified faculty members and two service-dedicated staff members (at least 1 credentialed veterinary technician), as well as a house officer training program for residents and specialty interns.  The service area has three dedicated exam rooms, a large multipurpose conference room, and a state of the art, newly remodeled ophthalmology surgery suite. Current equipment includes a Zeiss operating microscope, Alexos 3 peristaltic phacoemulsification unit, Iridex diode laser for endoscopic or transscleral cyclophotocoagulation and retinopexy, Frigitronics liquid nitrogen cryosurgery unit, RETIport 3S electroretinography, Ultraview XL Ultrasound imaging system and ultrasound biomicroscope, a Heidelberg HRT2 RCM confocal microscope, and a fluorophotometer.  The Veterinary Health Center at Kansas State University is supported by board certified faculty in large and small animal medicine and surgery, anesthesiology, dermatology, oncology (medical and radiation), zoological/exotics medicine and surgery, and diagnostic imaging.  

Directed clinical service will include delivery of ophthalmology services to small, large, and exotic animal patients in the Veterinary Health Center.  Teaching responsibilities include instruction of veterinary students, interns, and residents in clinical rounds and didactic lectures.  Opportunities exist for collaboration across a broad range of basic and clinical sciences within the College of Veterinary Medicine. We are motivated to provide an unprecedented faculty package for individuals who are dedicated to training veterinary students and residents and looking for a unique opportunity to become an integral member of a strong team. We are willing to provide flexibility for candidates to meet their career goals.  The start-up, consultation and benefits package will be very competitive.
