The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine are seeking to appoint a Professor/Reader/Senior Lecturer of Applied Animal Nutrition/Metabolomics/Microbiome. You will make a substantial and positive contribution to the strategic direction of the School/College through leading and contributing to clinical activity and/or research of international standard, high quality teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, securing research funding, and providing academic leadership and management within the School/College.

This includes the Small Animal Hospital (a recent £15M investment), the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety, the Glasgow Equine Hospital and Practice, and our Veterinary Diagnostic Services, offering excellent opportunities for collaborative research at the clinical and translational interface, especially with respect to companion animals.
