Reporting to the programme director, the post holder will contribute to a variety of lectures, tutorials, workshops and practical teaching activities in the programme, with a focus on content which develops student understanding of the principles and mechanisms of veterinary disease.  Accordingly, expertise or keen interest in veterinary pathology, animal health sciences and veterinary disease would be advantageous for this role.
