The successful candidate will join a clinical radiation oncology team including two ACVR-RO board-certified faculty and three residents in radiation oncology, supported by a consulting medical physicist, and support staff (five veterinary technicians and radiation therapists).

The radiation oncology service is located in the Randall B. Terry Jr. Companion Animal Veterinary Medical Center, in Raleigh, North Carolina. The center is equipped with a strontium probe, and Varian Novalis TX (with cone beam CT, high-definition MLC, CIVCO Protura robotic 6 degrees-of-freedom treatment couch, two Varian Eclipse treatment planning workstations, and a Varian ARIA record and verify system), capable of IMRT, IGRT, and stereotactic radiation therapy. Radiation planning is supported by a full diagnostic imaging suite, including CT and MRI. Each year, the service is responsible for primary receiving of over 300 new patient consultations and treats over 200 new patients. The service works closely with colleagues in Medical Oncology (four faculty, four residents, and one intern) and Soft Tissue/Oncologic Surgery (four faculty, five residents, and one intern).

Philanthropist Randall B. Terry, Jr. had a vision of a spacious and welcoming veterinary medical center that would be a national model of excellence. The goal was to ensure compassionate and leading-edge specialty health care for companion animals by surrounding a dedicated staff with advanced medical facilities and state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies. At 110,000 square feet, the Terry Center is one of the nation’s largest veterinary hospitals. More than 20,000 patients are diagnosed and treated annually by CVM clinicians and the Veterinary Hospital at NC State University is a major referral center for veterinarians throughout the Southeast. With a focus on patient care, client comfort, and staff efficiency, the Terry Center is designed to help clinicians exceed client and referring veterinarian expectations for state-of-the-art specialty healthcare. Our mission is to partner with veterinarians and provide excellent and compassionate medical care; advance the veterinary profession through medical innovation and clinical research, and prepare the next generation of veterinarians.

The college is committed to practicing inclusivity, making the community a priority, and promoting innovation. We embrace effective leadership and we champion personal and professional growth.

The individual in this tenure-track position will oversee radiation oncology clinical case management, provide high quality clinical and pre-clinical teaching, demonstrate research productivity through the procurement of external grant funding and the publication of peer-reviewed scientific papers, and participate in college and departmental committees.
