The Opportunity:

The Dairy Herd Health and Productivity Service (DHHPS) provides independent herd and flock consultancy services to veterinary surgeons, farmers and other bodies within the agricultural sector. Our delivery of metabolic profile results and interpretation to vets, farmers and nutri-tionists provide a valuable service to the farming sector all over the UK and overseas.

You will
teach undergraduate veterinary students in all aspects of farm animal husbandry and disease. You will be expected to provide support to the Section’s clinical research output, with scope for development according to your interests. This post offers great variety and the opportunity for the successful applicant to both share their knowledge and develop their career. This may include working towards a clinical specialism, such as ECBHM or ECSRHM Diplomate status, or to continue clinical-orientated research.

Your skills and attributes for success:
