VET Assistant Job In Logan, UT
The Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences (ADVS) at Utah State University (USU) is seeking applicants for two faculty positions with the department's Veterinary Technology program. One position will be located in Logan, Utah; this faculty member will have a 12-month, fiscal year appointment with a major appointment in teaching (95% of role) and a minor service role (5%). The successful candidate for this position will possess specialized interest and experience in small animal veterinary medicine, specifically focusing on the care and treatment of dogs and cats. This expertise will complement the existing faculty within the ADVS department at the Logan campus.
The second available position will be located at our statewide campus in Blanding, Utah. This faculty member will have a fiscal year appointment with 0.75 FTE, also with the major role of teaching (95%) and minor role of service (5%). The successful candidate for the Blanding position will have expertise in large animal veterinary medicine (e.g., beef cattle and equine) and an interest in veterinary services in rural communities. These positions may be filled as Assistant or Associate Professor of Professional Practice depending on qualifications and are not eligible for tenure.
Both faculty members will contribute to the Veterinary Technology Associate of Science degree program in the ADVS department, which is designed to prepare students for the Veterinary Technician National Exam. The Logan-based faculty member will serve as the program director. Launching in Fall 2025, USU's veterinary technology program is innovative in design, including hybrid instruction, with didactic courses offered asynchronously online and hands-on technical instruction offered in person at multiple locations in Utah, including USU's Logan and Blanding campuses. The degree is also designed to be stackable, allowing students to complete a veterinary assistant certificate at one of Utah's regional community colleges and then articulate those credits to the veterinary technology associate degree at USU. Students can also continue beyond the A.S. degree to complete a B.S. in veterinary science.
This is an exciting time at USU, marked by significant growth and investment in veterinary sciences and veterinary medicine. Growing interest in these fields in Utah is demonstrated by a 5% average annual increase in pre-veterinary undergraduate enrollment. In addition, a new College of Veterinary Medicine has been established, with a full four-year program set to begin in Fall 2025 and a state-of-the-art building scheduled for completion in Fall 2026. Notably, USU offers the only Veterinary Technology A.S. degree in the state of Utah, underscoring the institution's commitment to leading veterinary education in the region. This dynamic and expanding field offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the future of veterinary medicine and education in Utah.
