Licensed Veterinary Technician (LVT II) - RT Imaging Technician

Has working on a small team in a big organization ever tempted you? Academic veterinary hospitals are great places to work. Longtime staff have scores of student, house officer, and faculty friends they've made over the years while fulfilling the three missions of the college - teaching, patient care and research. Working in a big organization also means, if you are interested in non-clinical arenas like event planning or leadership, opportunity exists.

Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA) seeks a Licensed Veterinary Technician or Radiology Technician to work in our Imaging section. As a valuable member of our eight-technician, eight-house officer, eight-faculty section, you will image large and small animal patients guiding students and house officers on technical learning. As you grow, expect to learn diagnostic modalities beyond radiography.

We love working in our collaborative hospital where clinicians, hospital staff and trainees work together to provide excellent, cutting-edge patient care. If you are a young, eager technician, we'd love to mentor you and if you are looking for a change, we'd love to work with you to create the job and career that you love.

• Work with our two full-time biomedical engineers to maintain and replace diagnostic imaging equipment.
• Shape the future of veterinary care and education through collaboration with other specialty services while working with a range of patients and disease processes.
