Essential Job Duties
The Assistant Professor of Large Animal Clinical Skills and Career Success will join a dedicated group of faculty and staff currently teaching large animal clinical skills, medicine and surgery. A combination of models, simulations and farm animals at the Teaching Animal Unit and Reedy Creek Farm are used to facilitate assessments that can be used to develop skills portfolios and investigate best practices in feedback and remediation of clinical skills.
Teaching:
This faculty member will contribute to clinical skills, large animal and career readiness teaching in existing core, elective and selective courses. The faculty member will also have the option to participate in teaching and/or proposing new selective or elective courses. Interested individuals may contribute to ongoing development of house officer and graduate student competency-based training programs and trainee assessments.
Research:
This faculty member will establish an impactful and nationally recognized research program dedicated to advancing Large Animal Clinical Skills educational research. As veterinary curricula globally evolve to meet changing technological, societal, and agricultural needs, this position will drive evidence-based advancements in how veterinary students acquire, refine, and maintain large animal technical and clinical competencies. The faculty member will be expected to investigate current high-priority areas and address critical, unmapped gaps in knowledge within veterinary medical education. The prospective areas of educational research supported by this position include, but are not limited to:
- Simulation-Based Learning & Physical Model Innovation: Developing, validating, and optimizing large animal (equine, bovine, and production animal) procedural models, simulators and assessments (i.e. OSCEs, mini-CEX, etc.). A primary research gap in this domain is the critical lack of longitudinal data assessing the long-term transferability of skills from synthetic simulators to live animal clinical scenarios to practice, as well as addressing the historical “small animal bias” in existing commercial simulation tools.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Digital Workflow Integration: Exploring the integration of generative AI, multimodal large language models, and AI-standardized stakeholders within clinical training and communication workflows. Research will target how to teach students to utilize AI safely, ethically, and responsibly for diagnostic reasoning and uncertainty management, while addressing student adoption challenges, cognitive overreliance, and technological biases.
- Competency-Based Veterinary Education (CBVE) & Assessment: Designing, implementing, and validating objective, standardized assessment instruments and grading frameworks for psychomotor skills. Research will focus on mapping competencies to pedagogical combinations that offer the highest cost-benefit ratios and efficacy for equine and production animal training.
- Remediation Strategies & Cognitive Load Management: Developing evidence-based intervention and remediation strategies for students experiencing difficulties with technical proficiency. This includes studying methods to lower student anxiety and ensure safety during the high-stakes transition from low-stress models to live, potentially unpredictable large animals.
- Spectrum of Care, Ethics, & Community-Engaged Learning: Investigating educational frameworks that prepare students to practice quality medicine across a spectrum of care, particularly in resource-limited, rural, or underserved environments. Research could address how experiential learning in these settings impacts clinical skill acquisition and influences veterinary workforce shortages in production animal medicine.
- Community-based Education Models & Educator Development: Assessing how the pedagogical characteristics, instructional proficiency, professional identity and career satisfaction of clinical educators affect student learning in off-campus clinical teaching environments. Research will target frameworks for standardizing educator professional development and mentoring ability among non-faculty clinical preceptors.
- Pipeline Development, Admissions Predictors, & Career Sustainability: Investigating the correlation between holistic DVM admissions criteria (e.g., non-cognitive attributes, rural or agricultural backgrounds, specific pre-veterinary experiences) and long-term career commitment to large animal and food supply veterinary medicine. Research in this domain will target the critical “pipeline leak”—the documented decline in large animal career interest that occurs over the course of the four-year professional curriculum. Prospective studies will explore how educational interventions, early tracking pathways, mentorship frameworks, and systemic support systems can mitigate burnout, bridge the pay-to-debt gap, and ensure the geographic and economic sustainability of the large animal veterinary workforce in rural and underserved areas.
- Wellbeing, Professional Identity, & Veterinary Humanities: Evaluating the intersections of clinical skills mastery with veterinary humanities, ethical reasoning, and professional identity formation. The program will examine how early, structured competence in large animal handling correlates with student self-care, resilience, and long-term career sustainability.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Instructor Jobs at North Carolina State University
Translate your credentials for U.S. academic standards
NC State hiring committees evaluate degrees against U.S. equivalency standards. If your highest degree is from outside the U.S., get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before applying so your qualifications are clearly legible to the search committee.
Target departments with recurring instructor openings
Instructor hiring at NC State tends to cluster in high-enrollment departments like English, math, and engineering. Filtering your search by college or department, rather than browsing all postings, helps you identify where repeat demand for sponsored instructors is strongest.
Search NC State instructor roles on Migrate Mate
Find currently open Instructor positions at NC State filtered by visa type on Migrate Mate, so you're only spending time on roles where sponsorship is already confirmed, not guessing based on job descriptions.
Clarify sponsorship scope during the offer stage
NC State sponsors multiple visa categories for instructors, but the type offered often depends on your nationality and the role's duration. Ask directly during the offer conversation whether the position supports H-1B, E-3, or TN sponsorship before accepting.
Understand that PERM timing affects your long-term path
If you're aiming for permanent residence through an EB-2 or EB-3 pathway, the PERM labor certification process through DOL can take one to two years. Starting conversations with NC State's HR office about this timeline early in your appointment is practical, not premature.
Use OPT or CPT to build your NC State teaching record
F-1 students completing graduate programs at NC State or nearby institutions can use OPT or CPT to take on instructor or teaching assistant roles. A proven teaching record within the university significantly strengthens any future sponsorship case when a full instructor position opens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does North Carolina State University sponsor H-1B visas for Instructors?
Yes. NC State sponsors H-1B visas for Instructor roles where the position qualifies as a specialty occupation, which most academic instructorships do given their degree requirements. The university's Office of International Employment handles the petition process. Sponsorship is typically initiated after a formal offer is extended, so you'll want to confirm the timeline with HR early.
How do I apply for Instructor jobs at North Carolina State University?
Applications go through NC State's official jobs portal at jobs.ncsu.edu. Most Instructor postings require a cover letter, CV, and teaching statement. Some departments also request a diversity statement or writing samples. If you need visa sponsorship, flag that in your cover letter or directly with the search committee contact listed in the posting.
Which visa types does NC State commonly use for Instructor roles?
NC State sponsors H-1B visas for most Instructor hires and also supports E-3 visas for Australian citizens, TN visa status for Canadian and Mexican nationals, and J-1 visa exchange visitor status for shorter appointments. For instructors on a path to permanent residence, the university has experience with EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card sponsorship through the PERM process.
What qualifications does NC State expect for Instructor positions?
Most Instructor roles at NC State require at minimum a master's degree in the relevant field, though many postings prefer or require a doctorate, particularly in STEM and professional disciplines. Teaching experience at the university level is consistently valued. Some departments also look for professional industry experience alongside academic credentials, especially in applied or professional programs.
How long does the visa sponsorship process take for NC State Instructors?
For H-1B sponsorship, NC State must file with USCIS, and standard processing runs three to five months. Premium processing reduces that to 15 business days but comes with an additional fee that is sometimes covered by the department. If you're starting from F-1 OPT, make sure your work authorization won't expire before the H-1B approval date. Browse current NC State Instructor openings with sponsorship details on Migrate Mate to plan your timeline accurately.
