The Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine (ULAM), University of Michigan Medical School has an open faculty position for an academically-oriented clinical laboratory animal veterinarian.

The current ULAM clinical faculty consists of 12 clinical faculty veterinarians and 3 pathologists. Together they conduct a vigorous clinical, educational, research and service program that extends campus wide. Areas of research emphasis within the Unit include host-pathogen interactions (microbial pathogenesis and host response to infection), venous endothelial dysfunction, refinement and enrichment effects on experimental variables, analgesic and anesthetic efficacy, and clinical laboratory animal medicine and science. Faculty members have protected time for engagement in independent and collaborative research activities as well as access to multiple internal funding opportunities. Additionally, ULAM has a long history of training veterinary residents in laboratory animal medicine and biomedical research. ULAM has been a leader in laboratory animal medicine and comparative medical research since 1962 and has trained a significant portion of ACLAM Diplomats.

The University of Michigan is ranked nationally in the top ten medical schools for NIH extramural support. It is in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a culturally rich university community. Animal facilities total more than 200,000 square feet in 27 buildings on greater than 32 acres. Research is conducted over a diverse range of scientific areas including medicine, engineering, basic science, and bioinformatics. All five classes of vertebrates are represented in our daily census of over 230,000 animals.
