United Kingdom, Guildford

The University of Surrey’s Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences comprises five schools, working together under a ‘one health’ vision. Our state-of-the-art facilities and equipment provide the latest technologies for interdisciplinary research and teaching in human and animal health. Our mission is to sustainably improve the health and wellbeing of humans and animals, and their environments, through new knowledge and its application to the design, development, and delivery of responsible innovation and impact.  

Our School of Veterinary Medicine follows an innovative distributed teaching model. It aims to inspire and educate veterinary professionals who will advance veterinary medicine to meet the needs of a changing world. We embrace the traditional values of professionalism, scientific curiosity, and clinical excellence, while developing graduates with broad horizons. Our research aims to advance knowledge in all aspects of veterinary medicine and education. 

The role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced veterinary surgeon (MRCVS) with a passion for inspiring undergraduate students in all aspects of small animal practice but especially surgical skills. This is a fixed term (2 years), part-time position.

The primary focus of the role will involve supervising students at the off-site neutering clinics, in conjunction with other veterinary surgeons and an RVN. The neutering clinics are stand-alone clinics run in conjunction with our partners, and provide invaluable experience for 4th year students, enabling them to enter final year rotations and general practice with confidence in routine surgery. The role will also support clinical teaching across the curriculum, preparing our students for their final year rotations.

The successful candidate should be confident in elective surgical neutering procedures in cats and dogs and have enthusiasm for sharing their clinical experience and knowledge, giving students the confidence to perform surgical procedures and manage surgical cases. A teaching qualification is not essential but prior experience of teaching veterinary undergraduates would be an advantage. Those with extensive experience of supporting new graduates are also encouraged to apply. 

Enthusiasm and a willingness to work flexibly and to adapt to teaching creatively in a range of different contexts are essential, alongside excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills.  

This 0.4FTE post requires availability on a Tuesday and Wednesday.

Department: Robert Vácha Research Group – Central European Institute of Technology
Deadline: 31 Dec 2025
Start date: by negotiation
Job type: full-time
Job field: Science and research

Come to CEITEC MU in Brno and join us!

Postdoctoral Fellow in effect of lipid asymmetry on membrane protein function

About this position:

We're excited to announce an open post-doctoral position in Robert Vacha's Research Group!

Eukaryotic and prokaryotic plasma membranes exhibit inherent asymmetry, with distinct lipid compositions between the two leaflets. However, most studies to date have focused on symmetric bilayers. This project addresses this gap by integrating molecular dynamics simulations with experimental techniques such as solid-state NMR spectroscopy and scattering methods.

The primary aim is to elucidate the structural and dynamical properties of lipids in asymmetric membranes, particularly their interactions with integral membrane proteins, with an emphasis on bacterial lipid compositions. Initial step will involve determining lipid chain order parameters, bilayer structure, and lipid dynamics. Subsequently, lipid-protein interactions will be assessed, focusing on lipid-induced modulation of enzymatic activity in two bacterial proteins: OmpLA, a β-barrel protein, and GlpG, an α-helical transmembrane protein. The findings will offer key insights into the role of lipid asymmetry in biological membranes and its influence on membrane protein function, with potential applications in the development of lipid-targeted therapeutics and biosensors for pharmaceutical and biotechnological use.

The ideal candidate profile:

Must-have:


	PhD in the fields of biophysics, soft matter physics, physical chemistry, computational chemistry, statistical mechanics, or related fields
	Experience with molecular dynamics simulations (with GROMACS, CHARMM, NAMD, AMBER, LAMMPS, etc.) at the atomistic or coarse-grained level
	Good English language – spoken and written
