The Department of Veterinary Biosciences (VBS) in the College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) at The Ohio State University (OSU), is seeking applicants for a research-intensive tenure-track faculty position in Comparative and Translational Oncology with emphasis on bladder and genitourinary cancer research. This position for faculty who have evidence and impact consistent with appointment at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor is one of three ongoing recruitments as part of a cluster hire in conjunction with the OSU College of Medicine’s Department of Urology, and the OSU Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) to enhance our collaborative and comparative approach to this key thematic area of cancer and cancer-related research.

Applicants will be expected to engage in collaborative efforts that will enhance and expand existing partnerships and incorporate training/mentorship of graduate students and post-docs. Requirements include a DVM or equivalent degree with a demonstrated record of, or high potential for, extramural funding and an active and impactful publication record.
