JOB DESCRIPTION:
The University of Florida, College of Veterinary Medicine, is seeking applications for two tenure or clinical track Assistant/Associate/Professor positions in veterinary neurology. The Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences has a strong program in Neurology with a successful residency training program that has been in effect since 1978. The residency has strengths in medicine and surgery and the applicant is expected to be proficient in both neurosurgery and medical neurology. The successful candidate will join two board-certified veterinary neurologists in a service that is supported by two full-time veterinary technicians.
The Neurology service has a rapidly growing caseload that is predominantly small animal, with a regular number of wildlife/zoo medicine and large animal consultations. The Small Animal Hospital has a 100,000 square foot facility in addition to a recently renovated previous 25,000 square foot facility. Within the addition is an entire floor allocated to expansive new surgical suites equipped with in-suite computer access to patient diagnostic images, multiple C-arm availability, and binocular surgical operating scopes.
Since the 1990’s, therapies for intracranial neoplasia have been performed at UF and include both intracranial surgery and stereotactic radio surgery (SRS), a technique that was actually developed by our collaborators at the McKnight Brain Institute. There is a large brain tumor immunotherapy group within McKnight that collaborates with the current neurology service. Spinal cord injury is an additional area of active research within the CVM and at the College of Medicine. Our on-site LINAC now allows SRS to be performed in-house; other state-of-the-art equipment and facilities currently available include Cadwell Summit for EMG, MNCV, SNCV, VEP, SEP and a Neurovirtual BW Mini EEG. In-house 1.5 Tesla MRI, which has been recently upgraded, a state of the art 160 slice CT, and nuclear imaging are also available within the 24-hour facility.
Our post-operative patient care is greatly enhanced because of our Integrative medicine/physical therapy service which utilizes standard physical therapies, underwater treadmills, acupuncture, electro acupuncture, photobiomodulation and hyperbaric oxygen.

Applicants for these tenure or clinical track positions should have a DVM or equivalent degree and have completed an ACVIM or ECVN residency program in Neurology.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Licensed Veterinary Technician
Verify your credential meets TN requirements
TN visa sponsorship for veterinary technicians hinges on holding a credential that maps to 'scientific technician or technologist.' Canadian CVMA certification and Mexican state-issued licenses are both accepted, but you'll need official documentation confirming your scope of practice.
Target multi-location veterinary groups first
Corporate and multi-clinic veterinary groups have HR teams familiar with work authorization paperwork. Independent practices often haven't sponsored before, which adds friction to your offer process and can delay your start date significantly.
Confirm your job offer letter covers TN specifics
Your offer letter must state your job title, duties, and that the position qualifies under the scientific technician or technologist category. A vague letter is the most common reason CBP asks clarifying questions at the port of entry.
Use Migrate Mate to find visa-sponsoring employers
Searching by role and visa type saves you from applying to practices that don't sponsor international professionals. Migrate Mate filters veterinary technician openings at employers experienced with visa sponsorship, so you're not starting from scratch on employer outreach.
Prepare for CBP review of your duties description
Canadians entering at land border crossings receive TN approval from CBP officers on the spot. Bring a one-page summary of your daily duties alongside your offer letter, as officers sometimes request clarification that your role is technical rather than general animal care.
Plan your Mexican TN application through a U.S. consulate
Mexican nationals apply for TN visas at a U.S. consulate rather than at the border, and appointment availability varies by city. Schedule your consular interview as soon as your employer confirms sponsorship to avoid delays in your start date.
Licensed Veterinary Technician TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Licensed Veterinary Technician qualify for a TN visa?
Yes. Licensed Veterinary Technicians qualify under the TN visa's scientific technician or technologist category, provided your role involves applying specialized technical knowledge under the supervision of a licensed veterinarian. Your credential, whether a CVMA certificate or a Mexican state veterinary technician license, must document your technical scope of practice, not just your job title.
How does the TN visa compare to the H-1B for veterinary technicians?
The TN visa has no annual lottery and no cap for Canadian citizens, making it far more predictable than the H-1B visa, which requires registration and selection before you can even file. For Mexican nationals, TN allocations are limited but still processed consularly without a lottery. TN also doesn't require a formal USCIS petition, which shortens the timeline considerably for most candidates.
Will my employer need to file paperwork with USCIS for my TN sponsorship?
Canadian citizens don't require USCIS involvement at all. TN status is granted at the port of entry by CBP, so your employer prepares a support letter rather than filing a petition. Mexican nationals do require a visa issued at a U.S. consulate, but USCIS is still not involved in that process. Your employer's main obligation is providing accurate documentation of your role and qualifications.
How do I find veterinary clinics that will sponsor my TN visa?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for TN-eligible professionals and lets you filter veterinary technician roles by sponsorship availability, so you can target employers who have hired international candidates before. Approaching employers who already understand work authorization reduces back-and-forth during the offer stage and speeds up your start date.
Can I renew my TN visa if I stay with the same veterinary employer?
Yes. TN status is issued in up to three-year increments and can be renewed indefinitely as long as you maintain a qualifying job offer and your employer continues to support your sponsorship. There's no maximum number of renewals. Canadians renew at the port of entry or through USCIS, while Mexican nationals must return to a U.S. consulate for each renewal.
