Professor/Senior Clinician in Small Animal Orthopaedics

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine invites applications for the post of Professor or Senior Clinician to lead our Orthopaedic Department. We encourage candidates who have an interest in General Surgery, with a strong orthopaedic bias.

The successful candidate will be based in our award-winning Small Animal Hospital on the beautiful Garscube estate. This busy multidisciplinary hospital is staffed by a team of specialists in surgery, internal medicine, neurology, oncology, anaesthesia, diagnostic imaging and ophthalmology. State of the art facilities available on-site include 1.5T MRI, CT, linear accelerator, digital radiography, and four fully equipped surgical theatres. Our ‘One Hospital’ team ethos ensures exceptional clinical care can be delivered to our patients, and supports the continual professional development of our vets, nurses and support staff.
