The successful candidate will be working at the CAHFS laboratory in Tulare, CA, a location just a few hours from the coast, Sequoia and Yosemite National Parks, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. You will be joining a local team of three anatomic pathologists, but will be part of a four-lab system with 14 anatomic pathologists, toxicologist, epidemiologist, bacteriologists, and an electron microscopy specialist.

Diagnostic Service: The candidate will function primarily as a diagnostic pathologist at the CAHFS-Tulare laboratory. The majority of the caseload includes livestock and avian species with an emphasis on disease conditions affecting cattle and commercial poultry. The laboratory also receives equids, camelids, wildlife, zoo collection species, and occasionally companion animals. Timely interaction with veterinarians and livestock producers is an integral part of this position.
Research: Creative use of diagnostic case material including publication of results in appropriate journals is essential.

DVM or equivalent degree with experience in mammalian and/or avian diseases required. Board certification or eligibility for board certification by the American College of Veterinary Pathologists (ACVP) or European College of Veterinary Pathologists (ECVP) required. Renewal for the 4th year of appointment requires ACVP or ECVP board certification. Demonstrated ability in diagnostic anatomic pathology required. Demonstrated experience in diagnostic disciplines, disease investigation, and experience in diagnostic interpretation required. PhD degree in veterinary pathology or related field preferred. The successful candidate will have: i) excellent interpersonal and communication skills to effectively communicate with veterinarians, producers, and government agencies; ii) client-focused, service-oriented approach to diagnostics; iii) demonstrated ability to work with others in a collegial team atmosphere, and iv) demonstrated (or potential) accomplishment in areas contributing to diversity and inclusion.
