About the Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic anatomic pathologist to join a team of three faculty in a purpose-built Veterinary Pathology Centre. This role will enhance our 100 strong team of teaching and research staff in the University of Surrey School of Veterinary Medicine.
About the Veterinary Pathology Centre
The Veterinary Pathology Centre was built eight years ago and contains both a CL2 (containment level 2) post-mortem area with viewing gallery, and a CL3 post-mortem area. Private diagnostic post-mortems and APHA (Animal Plant Health Agency) surveillance post-mortems are undertaken at the site.
Responsibilities
The role would include:
- Undertaking diagnostic service, including biopsy and post-mortems.
- Teaching final year (year 5) students on intramural rotations (IMR) post-mortem skills.
- Participating in lecturing, practical classes and assessment of year 1-4 undergraduates.
- Supervision of residents.
- Providing CPD activities to external partners from time to time.
You will have an interest in broadening your veterinary profile through the development and delivery of undergraduate teaching in veterinary pathology. You will be supported in achieving this by participation in our in-house, externally accredited Graduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In addition to completing the Graduate Certificate, for those interested in developing further skills in education, study at Masters level (part-time) may also be supported (financially and in time allocation). There would also be opportunities for individuals to develop their career through research or other aspects as preferred.
About You
Successful candidates must have:
- A veterinary degree that is registerable with the RCVS.
- Experience in surveillance and post-mortem services.
- Interest in teaching and supervising students in the veterinary pathology aspects of our curriculum.
To be successful in this role, you will have:
- Excellent communication skills.
- An appetite for innovative teaching.
- Strong organisational skills.
- Enjoy working in a team.
Qualifications in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology in ACVP, ECVP or FRCPath, or board eligibility is also a requirement for the role.
