Generalist with Clinical Research Focus (DABVP-Preferred)

Austin Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Center (AVES) is seeking a passionate Generalist with clinical research experience—or a strong interest in developing clinical research expertise—to join our newly established Clinical Study Center in Austin, Texas.

AVES is the first hospital in the Ethos network to establish a dedicated Clinical Study Center, creating a unique opportunity to combine hands-on patient care with innovative clinical research that helps advance the future of veterinary medicine.

You’ll join a small, collaborative research team and partner with a board-certified Medical Oncologist and dedicated support staff to conduct sponsored clinical research trials, including Good Clinical Practice (GCP) studies, proof-of-concept investigations, and industry-sponsored projects.

You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with leading veterinary pharmaceutical, pet food, medical device, and diagnostic companies while providing patients access to innovative and, when study-funded, fully funded treatment options.

This role is ideal for a well-rounded clinician who enjoys variety, values evidence-based medicine, and wants to make an impact beyond traditional general practice.

Location Highlight

Austin combines big-city amenities with an active, outdoor lifestyle and is known for its live music, diverse culinary scene, arts and culture, and abundant parks and trails. With family-friendly communities and plenty to experience outside of work, Austin offers an exciting place to build both your career and your life.

Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance.

• Competitive compensation
• Sign-on or relocation assistance

• Mentorship and collaboration with experienced specialists passionate about clinical research

In your day-to-day, you will:

• Partner with a board-certified Medical Oncologist and dedicated research team to conduct sponsored clinical research trials.
• Participate in GCP studies, proof-of-concept investigations, and industry-sponsored research projects.
• Provide high-quality patient care while helping eligible clients access treatment options available through clinical studies.
• Manage a diverse caseload extending beyond traditional general practice, including chronic disease, pain management, and emerging areas of veterinary research.
• Work within a structured research framework where projects are provided, allowing you to focus on clinical execution, patient care, data collection, and study protocols rather than grant writing.
• Utilize protected research time for data entry, study coordination, protocol compliance, and high-quality documentation.
• Collaborate with veterinary pharmaceutical, pet food, medical device, and diagnostic companies on research designed to advance veterinary medicine.
• Work alongside a robust multi-specialty team, including Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, Surgery, Oncology, Neurology, and Diagnostic Imaging.

• DVM or equivalent veterinary degree with eligibility for Texas veterinary licensure.
• Board certification (DABVP), current pursuit of DABVP certification, or an interest in pursuing certification in the future is preferred but not required.
• Clinical research experience.
• A passion for evidence-based medicine and advancing veterinary care through scientific discovery.
• Confidence managing a diverse clinical caseload and an interest in cases that extend beyond traditional general practice.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail to support accurate research documentation and protocol compliance.
• Excellent communication skills and a compassionate, client-centered approach.
• A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for working alongside specialists, research professionals, and industry partners.
• Experienced and early-career veterinarians with strong research interests are encouraged to apply.
