Career opportunities exist (e.g., for family members). Faculty Position Announcement Diagnostic Laboratory Services Director The University of Tennessee invites applications for a full-time faculty appointment as Director of Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory Services in the Department of Biomedical and Diagnostic Sciences (BDS) at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine (UTCVM) in Knoxville, Tennessee. This position is offered as a full-time, clinical- or tenure-track position at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor, depending upon the applicant's qualifications. The UTCVM's diagnostic laboratory services provide broad expertise in anatomic pathology services (diagnostic biopsy and necropsy), bacteriology/mycology, clinical pathology, endocrinology, parasitology, pharmacology, and virology/immunology. Diagnostic laboratory services are supported by 20 faculty, 31 staff, and 6 residents. Collectively, the laboratories accession just over 61,000 samples annually (56% originate from within UTCVM and 44% from outside the UTCVM). In addition to supporting companion and farm animal health, the diagnostic laboratories also support the Tennessee Department of Agriculture (TDA), Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), and east Tennessee agricultural producers. While the primary mission is diagnostic, research support is provided to UTCVM clinical departments and other entities on and off campus. Ongoing laboratory initiatives include ISO 17025 accreditation for selected units and tests, expansion of poultry testing services, and pending implementation of a new laboratory information system. Future goals include, but are not limited to, implementing centralized laboratory sample receiving, developing a comparative pathology service to support research, and working towards further accreditation and becoming a National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) partner. The Director will hold a significant administrative appointment (anticipated 70% effort). Administrative duties include supervising, facilitating, and promoting diagnostic laboratory operations at a high level, including budgetary development and oversight, monitoring caseload data, and performing cost analyses; securing resources; maintaining infrastructure; performing stakeholder outreach; regular strategic planning; and change management. The Director will be expected to work closely with individual laboratory units, the UTCVM Dean, Associate Deans, Department Heads, Hospital Director, Referral Services Director, Business Office, Facilities Manager, UTIA Advancement, and Media Relations to supervise, set policy for, strategically plan for, and promote the diagnostic laboratory services. The Director will be a member of the Dean's Leadership Council and Veterinary Medical Center Hospital Board. In addition, the Director will represent the diagnostic laboratory services in interactions with TDA, TWRA, USDA, and other state and national veterinary and agricultural entities. The Director will also be expected to provide diagnostic service in one of the laboratory units (exact effort allocations and service duties to depend on the successful candidate's qualifications and interests) or contribute to the college's teaching mission. Qualified applicants must have: (1) excellent interpersonal and communication skills, (2) excellent leadership skills and a demonstrated ability to work with and mentor others in a collegial team atmosphere, (3) excellent administrative and management skills (4) a DVM degree (or equivalent) and/or PhD in a relevant scientific field, (5) at least 5 years' experience in a veterinary diagnostic laboratory setting, and (6) at least 3 years' supervisory or directing experience. Qualified applicants must also be committed to promoting a "culture of quality", as demonstrated by knowledge of laboratory quality management and prior engagement with laboratory quality procedures and initiatives. Board-certification in a veterinary laboratory or related discipline and entrepreneurial skills are preferred, as are demonstrated achievements in research, teaching, diagnostic service, and/or outreach. The Knoxville campus of the University of Tennessee is seeking applicants who have the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to the diversity and intercultural goals of the university. Tenured or tenure-track faculty will have achieved and maintained a recognized record in disciplinary research/scholarship, have achieved and maintained a record of institutional and professional service, and show evidence that they work well with colleagues and students. Clinical track faculty will have achieved and maintained a record of diagnostic service in their area of expertise, while providing instruction to staff, students and house officers. Clinical track faculty also participate in scholarly activities commensurate with their appointment. Regardless of the track, appointment at the rank of Professor will be considered based on having achieved and maintained a nationally recognized record of disciplinary service and scholarship.

Registration for US and European CLIIC courses is OPEN!!
by Jey Koehler Jan. 24, 2025

Jan. 24, 2025

Registration is OPEN for both the US (held at University of Tennessee in Knoxville June 2-6) and the UK/European (held at Cambridge University June 30-July 4) CLIIC courses! This is the first time this wonderful IN-PERSON ONLY course has been held in Europe, so if you are in Europe/UK and studying for the ACVP or ECVP exams, you don't want to miss it. Although the faculty will be more limited in number, the material will not. Registration deadlines are one week prior to the start of the course. Don't miss out by procrastinating! This course is a systems-based review of veterinary pathology including current literature (past 5 years), relevant textbooks, as well as thousands of gross and microscopic images (histopathology and cytology). Attendees will receive over 600 boards-style multiple-choice questions, both knowledge (literature and textbook based) and image based. Questions are embedded in the presentations via live polling, but attendees will also receive the questions with references in the course materials. This course replaces the previously offered Gross Course and differs from it by the addition microscopic images (histopathology and cytology) and current literature review, to better reflect the current ACVP exam format. No matter which certifying exam you are taking, or even if you are already a working pathologist, this course is an excellent review of the most current state of knowledge about a wide variety of diseases and species. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: We can only accept credit cards for registration payments; we cannot accept bank transfers or any other alternate forms of payment. It is the responsibility of attendees to arrange for credit card payment by their university or corporate business office.

Staff Scientist, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
by Bruce Williams Dec. 20, 2024

Dec. 20, 2024

Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Division of Translational Toxicology (DTT) Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Staff Scientist Comparative and Molecular Pathogenesis Branch (CMPB) The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), Research Triangle Park, NC is seeking a dynamic, highly motivated Staff Scientist to support the Comparative and Molecular Pathogenesis Branch, CMPB in the Division of Translational Toxicology, formerly known as the Division of the National Toxicology Program (DNTP). The mission of the DTT is to improve public health through data and knowledge development that are translatable, predictive, and timely. The DTT provides critical data for regulatory and non-regulatory stakeholder decision making to protect human health using epidemiological data, in vivo studies, alternative in vivo model systems, in vitro high-throughput screens and/or computational approaches. To achieve its mission, DTT scientists 1) collaborate with public stakeholders and global partners to identify and address public health issues, 2) generate and communicate trusted information to support decision making on environmental hazards, 3) lead the transformation of toxicology in the development and application of innovative tools and strategies, and 4) educate and train the next generation of translational toxicologists. DTT’s scientific goals are achieved through a distinct, highly cooperative and integrated team science operational model whereby scientific staff across multiple branches assemble into interdisciplinary project teams and utilize centrally managed shared resources, in contrast to the traditional NIH principal investigator-led research group model. The majority of research is carried out through use of external research and development contracts together with onsite intramural research capability. CMPB is a key contributor to DTT’s efforts to lead the science of toxicology and environmental public health by providing toxicologic pathology leadership and laboratory animal medicine expertise to meet the goals of the DTT using new technologies in biomedical research. A major function of the Branch is to provide a translational and mechanistic context to pathology outcomes with the integration of scientific data across all DTT branches and offices. In addition, CMPB trains pathology and laboratory animal medicine fellows to be leaders in multidisciplinary research. CMPB scientists and staff are responsible for the following general functions: developing new methods, approaches, and technologies in pathology and laboratory animal medicine. In addition, the Branch directs, manages, evaluates, and interprets all pathology data generated during the conduct of DTT toxicity and carcinogenicity studies, directs the DTT laboratory animal medicine program, establishes standards, terminology, and diagnostic criteria for rodent pathology, investigates molecular mechanisms of spontaneous and chemically induced nonneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in DTT studies, leads state-of the-science core pathology laboratories, oversees the scientific activities of the DTT archives and frozen tissue bank, provides diagnostic pathology expertise and collaborations with NIEHS investigators and the NIEHS laboratory animal colony. Roles and Responsibilities: NIEHS is seeking a staff scientist for Mouse Embryo Phenotyping (MEP) group within CMPB, in DTT, at NIEHS. MEP work is project-driven and supports divisional interdisciplinary investigators to advance its mission of providing broad support and training in mouse embryo phenotyping techniques in support of the NIEHS vision and mission. The scientific goals for MEP are achieved through a distinct and highly cooperative and integrated team science operational model, providing project assistance through the utilization of shared NIEHS Core facilities. A principal role for this position is to assist NIEHS investigators in assigning molecular underpinnings to developmental phenotypes encountered in genetically modified mouse models. The staff scientist will manage and be the lead contact for all project submissions to the MEP group. The staff scientist partners with a team consisting of a histologist and pathologist with expertise in developmental biology, tissue handling and pathology tailored to embryo phenotyping of genetically engineered mice under study. Additionally, the MEP staff scientist collaborates across the Institute to stay abreast of novel approaches and best practices for the integration of information technology and other solutions that may serve to scientifically advance projects submitted to the MEP group. As a NIH Title 42(g) Staff Scientist 1, the employee is generally appointed to a time-limited, renewable position. Staff Scientists do not receive independent resources as a principal investigator, although they will often work independently and have sophisticated skills and knowledge essential to the work of the branch. Qualifications: The ideal candidate will have a research-based professional degree (Ph.D., M.D., Pharm.D., D.V.M., or equivalent) in the life sciences. The candidate will have experience in developmental biology, the generation of genetically engineered mice and mouse embryo phenotyping. In addition, the candidate will have demonstrated a strong working knowledge of histology, pathology, molecular biology, molecular genetics, cellular biology, systems biology, and Next Generation Sequencing. As manager, the candidate must take a lead role in guiding and collaborating with NIEHS investigators in the discovery of a phenotype. The candidate should have knowledge and the ability to recommend to investigators and participate in advanced molecular techniques (e.g., spatial transcriptomics) that have the potential to aid in understanding the phenotype and advancing the project. The candidate must have strong leadership, organizational and communication skills to successfully manage the Core, advise, and instruct NIEHS trainees on how to move forward with their respective projects, and to provide advice to senior staff with respect to core facility expertise and operations. At the supervisor’s discretion, this position may offer work schedule flexibilities. These flexibilities may be requested in accordance with the HHS Workplace Flexibilities policy. https://www.hhs.gov/about/agencies/asa/ohr/hr-library/990-1/index.html Appointee may be a US citizen, Legal Permanent Resident of non-US citizen who is eligible for a valid work authorization. This position is subject to a background investigation. Salary and benefits: This is a federal full-time equivalent position, and a comprehensive benefits package is available. Salary will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and accomplishments. How to apply: *Interested candidates should submit materials as one combined PDF via email to DTTPersonnelMgmt(a)niehs.nih.gov <DTTPersonnelMgmt(a)niehs.nih.gov>.
