The University of Glasgow has been changing the world for more than 572 years. Today, we are one of the world's top 100 universities and ranked 13^th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2023, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world. Our people have always been at the forefront of innovation, and our past achievements inspire our current world changers.

This is a great opportunity for a Laboratory Manager to join the School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine. In this role you will provide functional leadership to three infectious disease laboratories (veterinary virology, veterinary microbiology & veterinary parasitology) in the SBOHVM’s Veterinary Diagnostic Service (VDS), managing this major service with a significant degree of autonomy. Extensive experience in at least one of the three component disciplines listed above is required in addition to broad theoretical knowledge of molecular and serological assays together with substantial practical experience.

The post holder will be required to facilitate the integration of commercial work with academic research activities, strategically developing the service and augmenting its international reputation. The role involves developing links with biotechnology enterprises in order to attract commercial diagnostic contracts and foster collaborative relationships. In collaboration with the academic head of infectious disease, the post holder will develop novel, leading-edge companion animal diagnostics to maintain the profitability of the service.
