The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies is looking for an enthusiastic and committed individual to lead our preclinical Animal Husbandry teaching for undergraduate veterinary students, and develop their own academic strengths.

The Opportunity:

Animal Husbandry is a core component of the undergraduate veterinary degree, involving the care and management of animal species such as cattle, sheep, horses, cats, dogs and other animals.

The post also allows scope to undertake research, either pre-existing or in conjunction with research programmes within the RDSVS, Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Security, and the Roslin Institute.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• A Degree in an agricultural or veterinary discipline, or equivalent
• A sound knowledge and practical experience of Animal Husbandry and associated animal handling practical skills.
• Physical fitness for practical animal handling (mainly sheep and cattle)
• An interest in research relevant to the strengths of the school.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
