Open Date:
Nov 28, 2022
Description:

The successful candidate will be committed to the daily service needs of the Anatomic Pathology Section of the Diagnostic Service, which annually performs between 900-1000 autopsies and ~500 biopsies submitted internally from NBC clinicians and externally from veterinarians, producers and owners representing the Commonwealth and surrounding states. A significant component of the autopsy service contributes to infectious disease surveillance and regulatory programs that serve the PA Department of Agriculture and USDA/APHIS, as well as veterinary forensics that serve regional law enforcement agencies and animal welfare organizations. This position will also involve a significant teaching commitment to the School of Veterinary Medicine across both the New Bolton Center and Philadelphia campuses in didactic and clinical training of veterinary students and residents/house officers in the core discipline of pathology. The position will also involve a 30% research component in an area of focus related to mammalian and/or avian pathology.

The successful applicant will join the Pathology Faculty at New Bolton Center, which includes 4 ACVP diplomates with expertise in large animal, forensic, and wildlife pathology. The highly valued New Bolton Center Pathology team provides integral services for the New Bolton Center Hospital’s diverse clinical and research caseload. The successful candidate will work closely with New Bolton Center’s world-class clinicians, providing unique opportunities for collaboration, passionate discussions, and extra-departmental mentorship.

New Bolton Center Faculty also work closely with other members of the Department of Pathobiology, including multiple board-certified microbiologists, clinical pathologists, a parasitologist, and a toxicologist who are committed to a team-based approach to providing top- tier diagnostic services. Anatomic pathologists within the Department of Pathobiology have expertise including dermatopathology, osteopathology, neuropathology, ocular pathology, and comparative pathology, with ample opportunity for consultations and collaborations across the New Bolton Center and Philadelphia campuses. Additional information on the department may be found at https://www.vet.upenn.edu/research/academic-departments/pathobiology.

The University of Pennsylvania offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package, which includes multiple options for retirement savings, and tuition benefits for the candidate’s spouse or dependent children. This is an outstanding opportunity for an individual who enjoys working in a vibrant urban environment with an abundance of cultural resources, including music, art, theaters, and fine dining (www.upenn.edu/life-at-penn/philadelphia). New Bolton Center is located southwest of Philadelphia in picturesque horse country with easy access to cultural and social activities in the MidAtlantic region. Philadelphia offers easy access to New York and Washington DC. Additionally, Wissahickon Valley Park, Valley Forge National Park, and many more recreational amenities are within minutes of the city for the nature enthusiast.
