The School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM) at the University of Wisconsin-Madison invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position (Assistant, Associate, or Full Professor). We are seeking a veterinary clinician-scientist with an active or planned foundational or translational research program focused on aging and extending healthspan. Candidates with expertise in a broad range of clinical and/or research areas related to healthspan are encouraged to apply.

We aim to build upon and expand existing strengths within the School of Veterinary Medicine and foster collaborative research across UW-Madison through the Wisconsin Research, Innovation and Scholarly (RISE)-THRIVE (Transforming Healthspan through Research, Innovation, and Education) initiative (https://rise.wisc.edu/rise-thrive/). RISETHRIVE is a campus-wide hiring initiative designed to harness and grow the university's reputation as a global powerhouse in interdisciplinary health research--translating both medical discoveries and innovative social science approaches into tangibly healthier lives for Wisconsinites and people and communities around the world.

Over the next three academic years, UW-Madison will substantially increase current hiring levels, bringing 150 new RISE faculty to campus. Candidates hired through RISE will join a community of scholars working across disciplines, schools and colleges on research, teaching and outreach endeavors. The community will engage regularly in venues such as seminar series and colloquia to share ongoing projects and identify opportunities to work together. The University will support the community, facilitating access to research infrastructure, and funding to support broad and rich collaboration. Further information regarding RISE can be found at: https://rise.wisc.edu/

The successful candidate will be expected to develop and maintain a strong and collaborative research program. Competitive candidates will leverage existing strengths within the UW-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine and more broadly within the UW-Madison campus community. The candidate will strive to make basic or clinical science discoveries that transform both animal and human health, prioritizing novel approaches to increase healthspan in humans and companion animals. This may include programs that advance knowledge in therapeutics, clinical-translational diagnostics, precision medicine, biomarkers, animal modeling, topics related to OneHealth, the microbiome in health and disease, immunology, nutrition and healthy aging, behavior, cognition, or the human-animal bond. Candidates with research program emphases outside of these areas are also encouraged to apply, and provide explanation as to how their current or proposed research program aligns with the RISE-THRIVE initiatives.

Education: Required Terminal Degree DVM-Doctor of Veterinary Medicine or equivalent degree. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree by start date.
