We are seeking to appoint Veterinarians from any clinical discipline who are determined to pursue a career in academic veterinary medicine.

 The Opportunity:

ECAT Veterinary Clinical Lectureships provide: (i) an introductory year with 80% clinical training time in the relevant residency programme at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and 20% academic time to identify PhD supervisors and develop a bespoke PhD project in one of the internationally competitive, multidisciplinary research centres at the University of Edinburgh; (ii) a 3-year full-time fully funded Wellcome Trust PhD Training Fellowship for Clinicians; and (iii) up to 3 further years as a post-doctoral Clinical Lecturer to complete clinical specialty training and, with 20% academic time, to initiate post-doctoral training and prepare applications for an intermediate fellowship or other academic post. Progression through the scheme is subject to satisfactory performance but does not involve competitive interviews after initial appointment.

 Your skills and attributes for success:

• evidence of high academic achievement
• you will have completed an internship/residency or had 2-3 years’ experience in clinical practice

Candidates who have already undertaken a period of full-time research leading to a doctoral degree are not eligible for the ECAT programme but are welcome to make contact.

Closing date: 17 May 2021
