Summary

About The Team:

Our vision for the SRUC School of Veterinary and Biosciences is to provide a sustainable, resilient foundation for clinical excellence to support the animals and communities at the heart of Scotland’s Natural Economy.

The Opportunity:

We are seeking dynamic and highly motivated individuals to join our innovative School and deliver excellence in teaching and research. You will play a key role in inspiring the next generation of veterinary professionals through our flagship BVSci programme and allied health programmes.

We are particularly interested in individuals with additional qualifications such as CertAVP, who have a keen interest in helping design and develop teaching alongside other subject experts.

While it is not essential to have extensive experience across all domestic species, a willingness to design and deliver teaching with multiple species in mind is important.
