Location: Philadelphia, PA
Open Date: Apr 24, 2023
Deadline:
The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Clinical Sciences and Advanced Medicine invites applications for a Faculty position in Small Animal Radiation Oncology. This position is in the Clinician Educator (CE) track of the University of Pennsylvania and at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor, depending on the candidate's experience.
Clinician Educator (CE) faculty are untenured members of the standing faculty. The successful candidate is expected to possess demonstrated excellence in clinical service and teaching, as well as a record of or potential to develop a reseearch program that advances the field. The candidate's primary and driving career interests and goals should include research activity. Members of faculty in the CE track in Radiation Oncology provide clinical service/teaching equivalent of 29 weeks per year in the Matthew J. Ryan Veterinary Hospital. Clinical responsibilities include treatment planning (including manual, forward, and inverse planning), participation in comprehensive oncology rounds, student, nurse, and house officer instruction and mentoring, and primary care of radiation oncology patients. Time outside of clinical service is used for scholarly activity, professional development, citizenship to the Department, and didactic teaching. Both reappointment and promotion require the faculty member to meet expectations for excellence in clinical activity, teaching, and demonstration of scholarly productivity, such as in the form of original research publications in peer-reviewed journals.
The successful candidate will join PennVet's existing Radiation Oncology service, which includes a Full Professor of Clinical Radiation Oncology, one dedicated nurse-anesthetist, one Certified Veterinary Technician/service coordinator, one registered technologist in Radiation Therapy and a specialty intern. Advantages of the position include a place within the Comprehensive Oncology service with dedicated medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists working as a team, a dynamic hospital setting with a diverse, complex caseload, and excellent support staff. PennVet is an exciting intellectual environment with outstanding residents and senior clinicians including faculty boarded in oncology, surgery, radiology, anesthesia, and clinical pathology. Facilities include a Varian Silhouette with RapidArc, OBI/CBCT, Eclipse TPS, and Aria R&V. Dedicated medical physics support is provided through the University of Pennsylvania's healthcare system. Imaging modalities include a 128-slice CT and 1.5T MRI. The proximity to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Perelman School of Medicine provides outstanding opportunities for collaboration and consultation for unusual cases or research opportunities.
This position is ideally suited for faculty candidates with an interest in both research and clinical practice and looking to build and grow a program in a multi-specialty Academic referral center with a high caseload. The Comprehensive Oncology program is ideally positioned to offer outstanding oncology services and participates in multiple oncology clinical trials. The research mission is supported by a network of faculty focusing on oncological investigations (including a board-certified/PhD immuno-oncologist), as well as dedicated centers of excellence such as the Veterinary Clinical Investigation Center (https://www.vet.upenn.edu/research/clinical-trials-vcic/about-the-vcic) and the Penn Vet Cancer Center (https://www.vet.upenn.edu/research/centers-laboratories/center/penn-vet-cancer-center).
