Position Summary

The Michigan State University Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (MSU VDL) seeks a highly motivated Academic Specialist to serve as the NAHLN–NBAF Regional Scientist for Region 3 [Midwest – Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Kansas].

The remaining 50% will support diagnostic service and translational research activities tailored to the fellow’s expertise and career development goals. This position provides a strong pathway to future leadership roles in diagnostic laboratories, regulatory agencies and national laboratory networks.
