Combined Veterinary Clinical Pathology Residency/PhD Graduate Program (Columbus, OH) scaduto

Combined Veterinary Clinical Pathology Residency/PhD Graduate Program

 As part of the most comprehensive health sciences center in America, the Department of Veterinary Biosciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at The Ohio State University invites applications for the Combined Program starting summer 2016 from outstanding candidates whose career goals include both a PhD and ACVP certification. With dual credentials, our graduates are highly competitive for careers in academia, industry, diagnostic laboratories and government.

Clinical pathology training utilizes laboratories at The Ohio State University that support the large caseload of the Veterinary Medical Center as well as classroom and individualized training directed by boarded pathologists. Additional training and resources are provided by the surgical pathology and autopsy services, the University Comparative Pathology & Mouse Phenotyping Shared Resource, and the Clinical Immunophenotyping Service. Large and small class didactic, laboratory, and small group teaching opportunities are an integral part of the program and provide trainees hands-on experience with different teaching models.

Research opportunities for PhD training are diverse, ranging from the study of infectious disease to oncology and drug discovery, and include basic, comparative, and translational work both within the college and with funded collaborative partners throughout the OSU health sciences community and Nationwide Children’s Hospital.

Stipends begin at $33,150, and successful applicants will receive an additional $1000 to apply toward the cost of educational supplies. Additional benefits include paid tuition and contributions to student health insurance. A DVM/VMD from an AVMA-accredited institution is preferred.

Applications will be reviewed upon receipt until a suitable applicant is selected for the position to begin June 13, 2016. Application materials including curriculum vitae that describes both research and clinical pathology experience, statement of career goals, unofficial copies of veterinary school transcripts and GRE scores, as well as three letters of reference should be submitted to Dr. Mary Jo Burkhard, Clinical Pathology Residency Coordinator, Department of Veterinary Biosciences, Ohio State University, 1925 Coffey Road, Columbus, OH 43210-1092.
