Kings Cross, Greater London
The Royal Veterinary College (RVC) invites applications for a Lecturer in Microbiology to join the Department of Pathobiology and Population Sciences. You will be based in the Centre for Emerging, Endemic and Exotic Disease (CEEED); one of the UK's leading centres for research on infectious diseases affecting animals and humans. The post is suitable for an individual who has completed a PhD in Microbiology or a closely related subject.

The successful applicant will also form strong collaborative links with the two other Departments at RVC, Comparative Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Science and Services. Applicants must be enthusiastic teachers and will contribute significantly to the delivery and assessment of our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes and develop leadership roles in teaching. The RVC has a welcoming and collegiate culture. We offer a generous reward package and benefits including:
  • Competitive and attractive pension package
  • Generous 30 days annual leave (plus bank holidays + concessionary days)
  • Access to free in-house CPD and funded external CPD
