LOCATION:
Main Campus (Gainesville, FL)
CATEGORIES:
Veterinary Medicine/Animal Care
DEPARTMENT:
28090000 - VM-SACS
CLASSIFICATION TITLE:
AST/ASO/FULL PROF
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.
EXPECTED SALARY:
Rank and salary will be based upon the successful candidate’s professional qualifications and experience.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
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.

None.

Review of applicants will begin as applications are submitted. Applications must be submitted by 11:55 p.m. (ET) of the posting end date.
Final candidate will be required to provide an official transcript to the hiring department upon hire.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as a Registered Veterinary Technician
Get your credentials evaluated before applying
TN visa approval requires proof your education matches the role. A foreign credential evaluation confirming your veterinary technology diploma or degree meets U.S. equivalency strengthens your application and reduces RFE risk at the port of entry.
Target clinics with multi-location or corporate ownership
Larger veterinary groups and corporate-owned practices file TN paperwork more frequently than independent clinics. Their HR teams already understand employer letter requirements, so you spend less time educating the hiring manager about sponsorship.
Confirm your state license before the offer stage
Most U.S. states require RVT licensure through the VTNE before you can practice. Employers will ask for proof of licensure or eligibility during hiring. Starting the state licensing process early prevents delays after you receive a job offer.
Use Migrate Mate to find TN-ready RVT employers
Searching broadly for veterinary technician roles wastes time on employers unfamiliar with TN sponsorship. Migrate Mate filters listings specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals, connecting you with practices already open to TN visa hires.
Request a detailed employer support letter at offer
CBP officers reviewing TN applications at the border need an employer letter describing your specific duties, your credentials, and the professional nature of the role. A vague letter is a common cause of delays or denials, so get this right before travel.
Understand the TN renewal timeline for Mexican citizens
Mexican nationals must apply at a U.S. consulate rather than a land border. Consulate appointment availability varies by location. Build at least eight to twelve weeks of lead time into your timeline before your intended start date.
Registered Veterinary Technician TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Registered Veterinary Technician qualify for a TN visa?
Yes. Veterinary Technician is explicitly listed as a qualifying TN occupation under USMCA Appendix 2. Your education must be in veterinary technology or a closely related field, and your employer must document that the role requires professional-level veterinary technician duties, not just general animal care work.
How does TN compare to H-1B for RVT roles in the U.S.?
TN has no lottery, no annual cap for Canadians, and can be issued at the border on the same day for Canadian citizens. H-1B visa requires a lottery entry in March with work authorization not starting until October at the earliest. For Canadian and Mexican RVTs, TN is a faster and more predictable path to U.S. employment than H-1B.
What documents does my employer need to prepare for TN sponsorship?
Your employer must provide a support letter on company letterhead that includes your job title, a description of your specific duties, confirmation of the professional nature of the role, your anticipated start date, and the terms of employment. The letter does not go to USCIS for Canadian citizens applying at the border, but CBP officers examine it closely.
Where can I find RVT jobs that offer TN visa sponsorship?
Most general job boards don't filter for visa sponsorship willingness, so you spend time applying to employers who won't sponsor. Migrate Mate is built specifically for Canadian and Mexican professionals seeking TN visa roles, letting you search Registered Veterinary Technician positions with employers already open to sponsoring TN status.
Can I switch veterinary employers while on a TN visa?
Yes, but your TN status is tied to your current employer. If you change jobs, your new employer must support a fresh TN application. Canadian citizens can do this at a port of entry without advance filing. Mexican citizens need a new consular appointment. You should not stop working for your current employer until the new TN is approved.
