The Department of Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University invites applications for a tenure-track Dentistry and Oral Surgery faculty position in the Section of Dentistry and Oral Surgery (DOS). This position expands DOS to three specialists to support robust pre-clinical and clinical research programs, provide excellent dentistry and oral surgery services in the Hospital, and maintain a strong teaching and outreach program. The successful candidate will join a current faculty of two Diplomates of the AVDC who are also founding fellows in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (FF-AVDC-OMFS). They are supported by two experienced licensed technicians and three full-time DOS residents in a comprehensive state-of-the-art teaching and referral hospital. The DOS Section is equipped with extensive therapeutic and diagnostic capabilities, including:

• A dedicated dentistry suite with three independent working stations • Fixed and portable computed dental radiographic capacity • A dental microscope • Rotary endodontic equipment and a vast collection of dental instrumentation • Direct access to operating rooms equipped with a piezoelectric oral surgery unit and a comprehensive craniomaxillofacial and mandibular titanium plate trauma repair system (1.3-mm, 1.5-mm, 2.0-mm, and 2.4-mm)

The Section closely interacts with other specialty units within the Cornell University Hospital for Animals to make use of advanced imaging facilities (16-slice CT scanner, 1.5 Tesla MRI, nuclear imaging, ultrasound), linear accelerator, Ho-YAO, CO2 and diode lasers, flat-panel C-arm, rigid and flexible video-endoscopy, among other equipment.

The DOS clinical caseload distribution is ~60% dental including endodontic, periodontic, orthodontic, and operative and restorative dentistry cases; and ~40% oral surgical cases including maxillofacial trauma repair, oncological surgery, salivary gland surgery, and palatal defect repair. Cornell’s DOS program is an AVDC-approved residency training site that can accommodate multiple simultaneous full-time residents and could train up to two full-time OMFS (AVDC) fellowship trainees, as dictated by needs and available funding. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree. Board certification in veterinary dentistry (AVDC - small animal or non-species specific, and/or EVDC) is preferred. Candidates who have recently completed an approved residency and are board-eligible in veterinary dentistry will also be considered. Basic science and translational research experience is desirable, and candidates with advanced degrees are encouraged to apply.

Distribution of effort in the Section and Department will be determined by the Service needs, academic priorities, and the candidate's expertise and academic goals in DOS. Effort includes clinical teaching and service in the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, along with lecture and laboratory instruction of veterinary students and house officers. Clinical duties require flexible working hours that may include evening and weekend responsibilities. The candidate should have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work cooperatively with all the Hospital Sections. The culture within the hospital is characterized by a high level of collegiality and professionalism that enhances the ability to provide multi-disciplinary patient care when needed.

Independent and collaborative research are expected consistent with the appointment. Extensive opportunities for collaborative research exist at the College and University, including the Ithaca campus, the Weill-Cornell Medical College, and the new technology campus in New York City.

Cornell University embraces diversity and seeks candidates who will create a climate that attracts students of all races, nationalities, and genders. We strongly encourage women and underrepresented minorities to apply. The University seeks to meet the needs of dual-career couples, has a Dual Career program, and is a member of the Upstate New York Higher Education Recruitment Consortium to assist with dual-career searches.
