Job opening, anatomic pathologist Alabama state diagnostic lab (Auburn, AL)
by Jey Koehler Aug. 29, 2023

Aug. 29, 2023

There is an opening for an ACVP-boarded or board-eligible anatomic pathologist at the Thompson-Bishop-Sparks state diagnostic laboratory in Auburn, Alabama. Please find the details in the attached document. This is a wonderful, modern facility with a bunch of great people and an especially outstanding director. If you are interested in 100% diagnostic pathology, this is a fantastic place to work with a varied but not overwhelming caseload. There are opportunities for resident teaching at rounds and even the occasional lecture to vet students if desired, but the position is not a faculty position. I can personally attest that Auburn is a great place to live: a lovely, tree-filled, vibrant, medium-sized university town close to many rivers and hiking and biking trails. It’s about 4 hours to the gorgeous sugar-white beaches of the Florida panhandle and about 4 to the mountains of north Georgia and the Smokies! Public schools here are excellent, and the cost of living is reasonable. There is a performing arts center and a museum, and Atlanta is 1.5 hours away for additional cultural and entertainment opportunities (and the busiest international airport in the US, so travel to anywhere in the world is easy-peasy). The presence of the university creates a more cosmopolitan and international community than is present in some other areas of the state, so stay open-minded when you hear “Alabama”! 😊 Jey W.

From the JPC - upcoming changes in VSPO
by Bruce Williams Aug. 28, 2023

Aug. 28, 2023

From the JPC: We wish to make you aware of an upcoming change to VSPO. As a result of continued evolution of programming languages and the increased familiarity with whole slide images (WSI) by our customer base, effective 31 August 2023 the JPC will discontinue the “hotbox/diagnostic series” feature on the VSPO site. The “hotbox” feature was programmed in HTML v.3.2 (a full decade before the advent of WSI), but is no longer compatible with current programming languages. Disabling this feature means that viewing VSPO entities as unknowns is also discontinued; however, we are exploring means to restore this particular feature with WSI. Whole slide images continue to be available for each entity and can be accessed by using the username “guest” with no password. -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org

NIH/NCI/FNLCR Pathology Fellowship
by Bruce Williams May 17, 2023

May 17, 2023

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Laboratory Animal Sciences Program (LASP) supports biomedical research at the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). We are offering a one-year post-doctoral fellowship for candidates seeking experience in lab animal pathology to prepare for a career in industry or research. LASP is a highly collaborative environment with access to multiple state-of-art core labs. This position is targeted to board-certified veterinary pathologists or board-eligible trainees. As this fellowship is designed to assist candidates in preparing for boards (ACVP, ECVP), board preparation time will be allowed. Fellows will train under a team of veterinary pathologists in the Molecular Histopathology Laboratory (MHL) and the Center for Advanced Preclinical Research (CAPR) with a focus on cutting-edge interdisciplinary research. Trainees will gain practical experience applying pathology training in a research environment, including phenotyping, digital image analysis, and toxicologic pathology, with a special focus on the role of pathologists in the emerging field of “spatial biology”. The candidate will have the opportunity to take a central role in defined and initiated research projects, supervised by Elijah Edmondson, DVM PhD DACVP DABT, involving the application of spatial transcriptomics platforms in mouse models and evaluating perturbations associated with drug therapy, cancer progression, and metastasis as informed by histopathologic changes. KEY ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES Become familiar with all phases of pathology-driven research, including study design, gross & microscopic examination of laboratory animal species, molecular pathology (IHC, RNAscope, multiplex IF), digital imaging, and advanced histologic techniques (tissue microarray construction, laser-capture microscopy, nucleic acid characterization, etc.) - Utilize image analysis platforms (HALO, Aperio, QuPath) in biomedical research applications to gain an understanding of how artificial intelligence can be applied in modern pathology laboratories. - Application of emerging pathology-enhanced -omics platforms – spatial biology tools – including Nanostring (GeoMX, CosMX), Akoya (CODEX, Phenocycler, Phenoimager HT), and 10x Genomics (Visium, Chromium). - Participate in monthly lab animal pathology seminars, research meetings, and scientific publications. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS · Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) from an accredited college/university or equivalent degree. Additional qualifying experience may be substituted for the required education. Foreign degrees must be evaluated for U.S. equivalency. Two years of relevant experience or formal anatomic pathology training is desirable. Must be able to obtain and maintain security clearance. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS · Preference will be given to board-certified veterinary pathologists or board-eligible trainees. Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) | Minority/Female/Disabled/Veteran (M/F/D/V) | Drug Free Workplace (DF) Contact: Elijah Edmondson, DVM PhD DACVP DABT elijah.edmondson(a)nih.gov (706)372-9937 -- Bruce Williams Chief Financial Officer Davis-Thompson Foundation 301 467-4024 bruce.williams(a)davisthompsonfoundation.org www.davisthompsonfoundation.org
