An exciting opportunity exists for a highly motivated individual to work in the broad area of farm animal science and veterinary public health. The team that the successful applicant will join delivers teaching to high-quality clinical students, with approximately 70 students per year group.

The other established research themes in the Department are neuroscience, genetics, and clinical science.
The successful candidate will be research active and have a Ph.D. Degree, along with a degree eligible for RCVS membership and some clinical experience in farm animal medicine.
