We are seeking candidates with expertise in the anatomical sciences, with a focus on veterinary gross anatomy, comparative anatomy, and histology across a range of domestic and companion animal species. This role will also emphasise the functional and clinical relevance of anatomy, exploring how anatomical structures relate to animal health, disease processes, performance, and welfare. A keen interest and experience in the integration of anatomy with clinical veterinary practice, diagnostic imaging, pathology, or surgical training would be highly desirable. You will develop and deliver high quality teaching and scholarly outcomes as a member of the wider veterinary medicine teaching and research team.

It is expected that lecturers will have experience of scholarly and stakeholder/sector engagement activities evidenced through impactful publications and other outputs. The successful candidate will be based at SRUC's Aberdeen Campus.
