The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) has a rich history of innovation and application of cutting edge technology. From pioneering Laboratory Animal Science and Landscape Architecture programs to award winning Cooperative Extension and Agriculture Research programs, our CAES faculty and staff serve today's needs while looking to the future.

North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University is a premier land grant university producing the largest number of African American graduates in agriculture and second in Animal Sciences. The appointee will have access to a range of animal and infrastructure resources including the laboratory animal resource facility, the farm, and various research laboratories. Through federally and state funded Agricultural Research and Cooperative Extension Programs, the college is positioned to not only conduct research, but also to deliver the research outcomes to all citizens of North Carolina and specifically to resource limited farmers and their communities.

CAES offers 9 BS degrees, 3 MS degrees and 1 PhD and educates over 1100 students. BS degrees include: Agricultural and Environmental Systems, Agricultural Education, Animal Science, Biological Engineering, Child Development and Family Studies, Family and Consumer Sciences, Food and Nutritional Sciences, Laboratory Animal Science and Landscape Architecture. The graduate programs include MS in Agricultural Education, MS in Agricultural and Environmental Systems and MS in Food and Nutritional Sciences, and the new interdisciplinary PhD in Agriculture and Environmental Sciences with 5 concentrations, including an animal science specialization track.

The Department of Animal Sciences is housed in a 64,000 square foot, 2 story facility. It accommodates modern instructional classrooms, teaching laboratories and faculty research laboratories. The first floor includes a 12,000 square foot environmentally controlled laboratory animal resource unit. The Department offers a Bachelor of Science Degrees in Animal Science, Animal Science (Animal Industry concentration), and Laboratory Animal Science and two graduate programs: Master of Science in Agricultural and Environmental Systems, with a concentration in Integrated Animal Health Systems and the launched Ph.D. in Agricultural and Environmental Systems, Animal Sciences concentration. The department's instruction and research are supported by excellent beef, poultry, swine, dairy, small ruminants, and equine facilities at the university farm. These extended laboratory opportunities, located as part of the University's farm complex, help to further enhance research capabilities and practical demonstrations for agricultural teaching, research, and extension activities. The Department of Animal Sciences produces the second-highest number of African Americans that go on to pursue the D.V.M in the United States. The department also has one the highest student first-year retention rates on campus, displaying the importance placed upon student success.

Ph.D., DVM, DVM/Ph.D. or equivalent degree(s) and formal training in food animal reproductive physiology or related disciplines that supports the training of undergraduate pre-veterinary medical students and graduate students in animal health sciences. The successful candidate will have evidence of publications.
