Senior Lecturer/Lecturer in Applied Animal Nutrition/Metabolomics/Microbiome (Research & Teaching Track)

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine are seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer/Lecturer in Applied Animal Nutrition/Metabolomics/Microbiome (Research & Teaching Track). You will develop, lead and sustain research and scholarship of international standard and contribute to the delivery of an excellent student experience by delivering, organising and reviewing agreed teaching, assessment and administration processes to enhance learning and teaching in the School.

Applications are invited from candidates of international standing with an appropriate record of academic achievement in applied animal nutrition, metabolomics and/or the microbiome. We are looking for a candidate who will complement our existing strengths in clinical veterinary medicine, evolutionary biology, animal physiology, aquaculture and microbiology and whose work contributes to our broader research agenda around animal welfare, sustainability and planetary health. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from candidates offering experience with companion animal and non-ruminant systems, complementing existing expertise within the School.

The School of Biodiversity, One Health and Veterinary Medicine is home to researchers studying organismal biology and animal health across a diverse range of systems, approaches and disciplines with existing strengths in infectious disease, physiology, ageing, veterinary epidemiology, and evolution among others. You will be based on the University of Glasgow’s Garscube campus, where the majority of veterinary teaching and research infrastructure is located. This includes the Small Animal Hospital (a recent £15M investment), the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health and Food Safety, the Glasgow Equine Hospital and Practice, and our Veterinary Diagnostic Services, offering excellent opportunities for collaborative research at the clinical and translational interface, especially with respect to companion animals.

We welcome applications from candidates with a PhD or equivalent in animal nutrition or related disciplines or a professional veterinary qualification.

This post is full time (35 hours per week) and open ended.
