Veterinary Radiology Internship Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Description
The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University invites applications for an assistant or associate professor of small and large animal diagnostic imaging (DI). The successful applicant will be responsible for teaching and supervising veterinary students and house officers; providing advanced referral and specialty diagnostic services; and engaging in research. In addition to clinical rotation teaching, formal instruction in the DVM program and for house officers is expected. The position is eligible for appointment with continuous term (tenure-equivalent) and the appointment may be in the professor or clinical professor track, depending on the interests and qualifications of the successful candidate.
The successful candidate will join a welcoming, multicultural diagnostic imaging team composed of three full-time and five part-time board-certified radiologists (including two with an equine focus), seven residents, and twelve technicians. The service primarily supports the Foster Hospital for Small Animals and the Hospital for Large Animals. With a robust group of imaging faculty, there are ample opportunities to pursue and develop specialized diagnostic imaging interests across both small and large animal species. Clinical responsibilities include providing diagnostic imaging services, teaching clinical-year students, and supervising interns and residents across all aspects of diagnostic imaging. The Diagnostic Imaging Service features a dedicated MRI suite equipped with a 3T Philips unit with advanced neurology and orthopedic software, as well as a new 160-slice Canon Aquilion Exceed LB™ modified with the Qalibra™ system to accommodate both equine and small animal patients. The section maintains a fully equipped radiology and fluoroscopy suite and operates two C-arms that support a robust interventional radiology caseload. Additional facilities include two digital radiology small animal radiology suites, one DR large animal radiology room, and a nuclear medicine suite.
The ultrasound suite houses two state-of-the-art Philips units with multiple high-frequency transducers. The Diagnostic Imaging Section collaborates closely with the Large Animal Ultrasound and Sports Medicine Service, including shared clinical rounds and active research partnerships. Image data are managed through Philips Vue Client software. The section is widely recognized for its strong residency program, accredited by both the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging.
The successful applicant is expected to develop an independent or collaborative research program in a relevant area. The expectations in research depend on whether the appointment is in the professor or clinical professor track. Outstanding opportunities exist to build clinical and translational research partnerships with investigators across all three Tufts University campuses, throughout the New England medical community, and nationally or internationally. Clinical research is strengthened by resources such as the Clinical Research Shared Resource, the Clinical Trials Office, the Comparative Pathology and Genomics Shared Resource, the Animal Resources Division, and university-wide support structures including the Clinical and Translational Science Institute. Current research strengths at the Cummings School include cardiovascular health, comparative oncology, musculoskeletal pathophysiology, urology, neurosciences, and infectious disease.
Time allocation typically includes 24-32 weeks devoted to clinical activity, 5-14 weeks to research and scholarly work, approximately 4-6 weeks to formal educational activities, and 3-4 weeks to administrative responsibilities. Distribution varies by rank, appointment track, and the candidate's interests. Vacation and university time off total approximately five weeks annually.

Candidates must have demonstrated the ability to manage a busy clinical caseload and effectively multitask within an academic environment. Enthusiasm for teaching, along with a demonstrated commitment to educational excellence, is essential. Evidence of scholarly activity and research interests that complement existing departmental or school strengths is considered an asset.
Strong communication skills and a proven ability to work collaboratively in a team-based environment are required. Applicants must be eligible for licensure in Massachusetts. The rank, track, and salary of the position is dependent on the interests and expertise of the applicant.
