Department:28090000 - VM-SACS
ADJ LECTURER
Lecturer
Candidates shall have received the academic degree appropriate to the assignment of duties, or equivalent experiences or accomplishments in the field may be substituted.
The fellowship is a two‐year position in Veterinary Perfusion, during which the fellow will receive advanced and intensive training in cardiopulmonary bypass for open heart surgery in companion animals under the direction of an experienced perfusionist. The current open heart caseload is focused on mitral valve repair, however, a small number of cases requiring perfusion support can involve other cardiac conditions, including congenital disease. In conjunction with the faculty perfusionist, the fellow will have responsibilities of intraoperative perfusion support, and post-operative care. Post-operative patient care involves some overnight management of patients in the immediate post-operative period to support the ICU with these high-acuity cases. While the fellow will not have primary case responsibility, they will participate in pre- and post-operative management of the cases in the ICU in addition to managing the perfusion during surgery, and as needed, might assume primary case care at times to assist the surgeons. Good communication skills and teamwork are essential characteristics of a fellow, in addition to strong medical skills and training. Successful open-heart surgery cases are a product of multiservice teamwork and the fellow will be expected to work closely with cardiology, anesthesia, surgery, and ICU to ensure high quality patient care and programmatic success. As part of the program, the perfusion fellow will receive didactic simulation training to enhance clinical training and will have the opportunity to learn basic echocardiography relevant to open-heart surgery and perfusion. Opportunities to collaborate and learn from other teams in the hospital (e.g. cardiology, ECC, surgery) and physicians at the medical center (Shands UF) are available, along with the opportunity to contribute to advancement of clinical research and growth of the Open-heart Surgery Program at UF through growth of the perfusion program. The successful applicant will be hired into an Adjunct Lecturer position.
Program-specific Requirements:
- Time allowance: 2 years
- 40 fellowship in-training weeks per year spent with the perfusionist
- 2 weeks at human hospital such as UF Health Shands Hospital, shadowing human perfusionists
- Publication requirements: A minimum of one retrospective or prospective manuscript focused on perfusion submitted to a peer‐reviewed journal.
- A semi‐annual written review by the program director or perfusionist will be done
- The fellow must present at least one research or case report at national level meeting
- Maintenance of a perfusion case log to include no less than 30 cases annually for submission to the program director and faculty perfusionist at the end of the fellowship.

Tips for Your Professor of Surgery Job Search
Align your CV to academic appointment criteria
Academic surgery CVs are evaluated against promotion criteria, so list your research funding, peer-reviewed publications, resident mentorship history, and invited lectureships in separate sections. A CV structured for private practice misses what faculty search committees actually score.
Target departments by subspecialty volume
Surgery departments hire for clinical volume gaps, not general coverage. Find openings in programs whose operative case mix matches yours, such as hepatopancreatobiliary, colorectal, or trauma, so your subspecialty fills a real gap rather than competes with existing faculty.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists professor of surgery openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Lead with your research funding history
Departments at research-intensive institutions weigh grant activity heavily. If you hold or have held NIH funding, name the mechanism and award period near the top of your application materials so search committees see your funding trajectory before anything else.
Prepare a teaching portfolio before interviews
Many faculty searches require a formal teaching statement and evidence of resident or fellow outcomes. Compile course evaluations, mentee match results, and curriculum contributions you have led so you can speak specifically rather than in generalities during the interview.
Negotiate startup packages before accepting an offer
Academic surgery offers typically include protected research time, lab space, and administrative support, not just base compensation. Know what resources you need to maintain your operative program and research before the conversation moves to contract review.
Professor of Surgery Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most professor of surgerys?
The most active employers for professor of surgerys right now are University of Southern California, University of Miami, and University of Rochester, and the most openings are in California, Texas, and Florida, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Academic medical centers affiliated with major research universities account for the largest share of posted openings.
How many professor of surgery jobs are remote?
About 13% of professor of surgery openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting the hands-on, operative nature of most roles. Research-focused or medical education faculty positions with limited clinical duties are the most likely to offer any remote component, though fully remote surgical faculty roles remain uncommon.
How do you become a professor of surgery?
You become a professor of surgery by completing medical school, an accredited surgical residency, and in most cases a subspecialty fellowship, then joining an academic department as a clinical instructor or assistant professor. Building a record of peer-reviewed publications, securing research funding, and contributing to resident education are the primary factors that drive promotion toward associate and full professor rank.
How do you get a professor of surgery role with limited academic experience?
Start by applying for instructor or clinical assistant professor positions, which are designed for surgeons transitioning from training or private practice into academia. Demonstrating a clear research focus, even with one or two published papers, and showing documented involvement in teaching residents during your training will strengthen an application that lacks a lengthy academic bibliography.
What does the professor of surgery interview process look like?
Most academic surgery searches involve an initial call with the department chair or search committee, followed by a full-day on-site visit that includes a grand rounds or research presentation, meetings with faculty across the division, a tour of operative and research facilities, and a session with institutional leadership. Finalists are typically asked to present their five-year academic and clinical plan.
Where can I find and apply to professor of surgery jobs?
You can find and apply to professor of surgery jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from academic medical centers and university health systems across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your subspecialty and academic rank, then apply directly to each position that fits your background.
