This full-time, 48-week, non-tenure track position will be filled at the Assistant Clinical, Associate Clinical, or Clinical Professor level.

The position will require communication skills pertaining to the provision of results and providing interpretation to clients (veterinarians, livestock producers, regulatory agency officials, etc.) in a timely and effective manner. This position will also involve clinicopathologic collaboration with, and support from the other mammalian pathologist at the ADL, and the PSU Veterinary Extension and Field Investigation Team in the Department of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences. This position also involves the unique opportunity to consult with veterinary pathology colleagues within the PADLS system, at both the UPenn New Bolton Center, and the PA Veterinary Laboratory.

Involvement (10%) in collaborative applied or basic research projects, the presentation and publication of case reports, and/or the development of novel diagnostic techniques related to topics of animal and/or zoonotic health concern, is also an expectation of this position. Dissemination of this information at professional meetings and through publications, and other venues is also expected.
