The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, School of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (SVMBS), Texas A&M University is excited to invite applicants to a full-time non-tenure-track faculty position at the rank of clinical assistant or clinical associate professor in anesthesiology on an 11-month appointment with an anticipated start in Spring or Fall 2025.

The Anesthesia Service is expanding to six full-time faculty that have a critical role in student education, patient care, and scholarship.

The service is also staffed with 15 technicians and a rotation of three anesthesia residents distributed among the Small and Large Animal Teaching Hospitals and the Diagnostic Imaging and Cancer Treatment Center of our Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital (VMTH).

The VMTH is a spacious facility with sophisticated diagnostic and patient care equipment, including but not limited to color-flow Doppler ultrasonography, 4D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, digital fluoroscopy, scintigraphy, 40 slice CT, 3T MRI, video endoscopy, nuclear imaging, acid-base / blood-gas analyzers, oxygen and inhalant gas analyzers, standard coagulation as well as TEG and PFA analyzers, intraoperative cell salvage transfusion equipment, phacoemulsification system, high-flow oxygen therapy, and an ICU telemetry system.

A state-of-the-art electronic anesthesia scheduling / case-tracking system along with 19 new Mindray anesthesia multiparameter monitors with a central anesthesia station allows the Texas A&M University Anesthesia Service to be one of the most sophisticated in the world.

The Anesthesia Service also has its own ultrasound for locoregional blocks, peripheral nerve stimulators, pediatric and adult patient ventilators, Mindray WATO anesthesia station, spirometry, one-lung ventilation devices, and a 15-camera monitoring system used to remotely view all equine recoveries as well as radiation therapy cases.

Radiation capabilities include TomoTherapy and iridium implant brachytherapy. Surgical suites and instrumentation allow for complex orthopedic, neurologic, cardiac, thoracic, oncologic, and abdominal procedures such as stereotactic brain biopsies, cardiac occlusive device implantation, and subcutaneous ureteral bypass device placement.

Research equipment available, but not limited to, includes lithium and thermodilution cardiac output monitoring, thermal threshold testing, and mechanical threshold testing.

The VMTH has capable personnel including, but not limited to talented ICU technicians, an active multidisciplinary interventional radiology service, two in-house pharmacists with compounding capability, and a clinical trials coordinator.

A generous start-up package will be available commensurate with the clinical or scholarly needs and record of the individual.
