Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Sciences (Production Animal)

The University of Surrey’s Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences comprises five schools, working together under a ‘one health’ vision. Our state-of-the-art facilities and equipment provide the latest technologies for interdisciplinary research and teaching in human and animal health. Our mission is to sustainably improve the health and wellbeing of humans and animals, and their environments, through new knowledge and its application to the design, development, and delivery of responsible innovation and impact.  

Our School of Veterinary Medicine is the only school in the UK with a distributed teaching model. It aims to inspire and educate veterinary professionals who will advance veterinary medicine to meet the needs of a changing world. We embrace the traditional values of professionalism, scientific curiosity, and clinical excellence, while developing graduates with broad horizons. Our research aims to advance knowledge in all aspects of veterinary medicine and education. 

The role

This role will allow you to share your enthusiasm, knowledge, and experience with veterinary undergraduates in the area of production animal practice. You will be supporting theoretical and practical animal health and husbandry teaching across years one and two of the veterinary programme, and small group clinical skills teaching in years three and four. 

Support of practical assessment across all years of the programme, including delivery of practical assessments, is expected. You will also contribute to our clinical skills and simulation teaching, undertaking educational research projects to enhance our reputation as global leaders in this area. 

Discipline specific clinical research interests are encouraged, and this role has an expectation to apply for, and obtain, grant funding to undertake appropriate projects. This can be supported through work with student projects, and you will have access to our extensive partner network with which to undertake clinical projects focussing on animal health and production. 

About you

All candidates must hold a veterinary degree and it is desirable that you are registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS/FRCVS), but more important is significant demonstrable clinical experience and practical competencies in production animal practice. Teaching experience and/or qualification is desirable, but you will be supported with gaining the Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching/Higher Education. Candidates will require a PhD.

Further Information

Please apply by uploading a CV and a covering letter outlining your motivation for the role and why you would be a good fit.
