The position is open for applicants at all levels (assistant, associate, and full professor). The minimum requirements for the selected candidate include a DVM or equivalent, ACVP or ECVP board eligibility, and licensure or eligibility for licensure in Wisconsin. Two years of post-residency experience in diagnostic anatomic pathology, research experience and/or a PhD, as well as a demonstrated strong interest and experience in training pathology residents, are preferred but not required. ACVP or ECVP Board Certification must be obtained within the first 15-months of hire.
