Anatomic Pathologist

We are seeking an innovative pathologist with investigative and drug development experience. The selected candidate will participate in or lead cross-functional teams assessing the safety of novel compounds by undertaking investigative and early non-GLP toxicology studies in support of Discovery Research. This will include collaborative development of the experimental study plan, providing gross and microscopic examinations of tissues, evaluation of clinical pathology parameters, and reporting of results. Investigative studies may require the application of special methods of assessment such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, laser capture micro-dissection, and/or image analysis. Presentation of pathology data locally as well as in global meetings is expected.

Qualified candidates will have a DVM (or equivalent), PhD, board certification in Veterinary Pathology, and a minimum of 3 years of experience in toxicologic/investigational pathology. Expertise or interest in renal pathophysiology and/or clinical pathology is desirable, as is technical knowledge and practical experience in specialized pathology techniques such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, laser capture micro-dissection and/or image analysis.
