Biomedical Engineer Internship Jobs in Texas (NOW HIRING)

Description
The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences at the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (VMBS) at Texas A&M University is excited to invite applicants for a full-time, non-tenure-track faculty position on an 11-month appointment at the rank of clinical assistant professor, clinical associate professor, or clinical professor in Radiation Oncology with an anticipated start in the Fall of 2025. Our Oncology service has 3 medical oncology faculty lines and 2 radiation oncology faculty lines. Oncology service faculty play a critical role in student education, patient care, and scholarship.
The successful candidate will devote a major portion of their time (% effort negotiable) to clinical instruction and patient care in the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (65%; VMTH). The remaining time will be devoted to integrative classroom and laboratory teaching (15%), research (10%), and academic citizenship (10%). Clinical responsibilities will include primary management of cases, instruction of veterinary students and technicians, mentorship of interns and residents, and participation in occasional after-hours emergency coverage. Classroom and laboratory teaching responsibilities will include the education of professional students in our integrated curriculum and opportunities to interface with graduate students across multiple disciplines. Active supervision of house officers and in-depth participation in intern/resident training (including topic rounds, journal club, and backup support) is expected. Additionally, we expect the successful candidate to collaborate in one of the many research opportunities. Opportunities for rich research collaborations are plentiful, both within the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences and beyond. Texas A&M has a strong biomedical engineering program, and several medical school campuses (both locally and in Houston) available for collaboration. Two of the largest human cancer Centers (MD Anderson and UT Southwestern) in the US are within driving distance. Teamwork is highly valued at Texas A&M University, and candidates are expected to demonstrate institutional citizenship that may include service to committees, working groups, and professional organizations.
The VMTH is a spacious facility with sophisticated diagnostic and patient care equipment. Radiation therapy capabilities include TomoTherapy Hi-Art with Precision TPS and Strontium-90 plesiotherapy. The VMTH maintains Mimics and Echopixel licenses for three-dimensional reconstruction, with easy access to 3D printers. Other equipment includes (but not limited to) 40 slice CT, 3T MRI, video endoscopy, nuclear imaging, acid-base/blood-gas analyzers, oxygen and inhalant gas analyzers, standard coagulation as well as VCM and PFA analyzers, intraoperative cell salvage transfusion equipment, phacoemulsification system, high-flow oxygen therapy, color-flow Doppler ultrasonography, 4D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, digital fluoroscopy, scintigraphy, and an ICU telemetry system. Surgical suites and instrumentation allow for complex orthopedic, neurologic, cardiac, thoracic, oncologic, and abdominal procedures, such as stereotactic brain biopsies, cardiac occlusive device implantation, and subcutaneous ureteral bypass device placement. The planning of a next-generation small animal hospital is underway, and construction is expected to start within this year. The small animal hospital will include a new linear accelerator in a vault directly adjacent to the integrated oncology service area. Faculty working on the oncology service are supported by an outstanding team of veterinary technicians.
The Small Animal Hospital of the VMTH has approximately 60 board-certified specialists in a wide variety of clinically relevant specialties as well as many technicians in areas such as imaging, surgery, critical care, internal medicine, anesthesia, cardiology, neurology, surgery, dentistry, and others. Capable personnel including, but not limited to talented ICU technicians, an active multidisciplinary interventional radiology service, three in-house pharmacists with compounding capability, and a clinical trials coordinator as well as a clinical trials technician.
A start-up package will be available commensurate with the clinical or scholarly needs and record of the individual. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to interact with approximately 60 small animal faculty members, 40 large animal faculty members, and more than 100 faculty members in basic sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences. Beyond that Texas A&M currently has more than 4,200 faculty members in a wide range of disciplines. Also, we have an active group of house officers that includes more than 50 interns and residents from other medical and surgical disciplines. The Texas A&M University VMTH values employee quality of life and well-being as well as the sustainability of our missions.
