About the opportunity


Your chance to have a marked impact on the future of the veterinary profession and the lives of animals.

We are seeking to make a single appointment at either Lecturer, Senior Lecturer or Associate Professor in Small Animal Anaesthesia (Education-Focused), with the primary focus to provide Anaesthesia services at the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital Sydney. The successful candidate will work closely with the Hospital Anaesthesia team to continue to raise the profile of UVTHS to clients and referring veterinarians. You will play an integral part in the oversight of the small animal Anaesthesia unit services while delivering high level of clinical support. You will have an active teaching role of final year DVM veterinary students in liaison with the Heads of Specialist Services and Primary Care.

An academic background is not essential for this role - candidates with strong clinical experience will be considered.

A Lecturer is expected to engage in teaching and research independently or part of a team and support the DVM program predominantly through clinical supervision of placements and clinical service. A lecturer would have advanced training in a specific discipline (eg membership or similar).

The base salary for a Lecturer (Level B) is between $122,830 p.a. - $145,858 p.a + 17% superannuation (a total package of between $143k - $170k p.a)

A Senior Lecturer is expected to make significant contributions to teaching and learning within the DVM program, primarily within the Veterinary Teaching Hospital for final year students with involvement in didactic settings for earlier years. A Senior Lecturer is also expected to provide leadership as registered Specialist and have a demonstrated research track record.

The salary for a Senior Lecturer (Level C) is between $173,030 p.a. - $199,515 p.a. (inclusive of a generous loading for a registered specialist) + 17% superannuation (a total package of between $198k - $229k p.a. for a registered specialist).

An Associate Professor is expected to be an academic leader as a clinical specialist with a demonstrated research track record and recognition at a national/ internation level for teaching, research and clinical service.

The salary for an Associate Professor (Level D) is between $208,340 p.a. - $229,523 p.a. (inclusive of a generous loading for a registered specialist) + 17% superannuation + (a total package of between $243k - $268k p.a. for a registered specialist).

The academic environment is different to commercial specialty practice with the academic mission of teaching and research being central to operations. You are not focused on caseload benchmarks of revenue targets but rather making a difference, leaving a legacy on the profession and undertaking research that changes the lives of animals.


Your key responsibilities will be to:
 

 

 


  • maintain and contribute to the long-standing reputation of the School for academic excellence

  • coordinate and develop curricula and programs within the School ensuring outstanding teaching and learning outcomes

  • coordinate and engage in a high-quality teaching and learning experience which meet the University's expectations and standards for education
