Are you interested in undertaking research into dog behaviour as part of our clinical animal behaviour team at the University of Lincoln? As a result of another successful research contract, we are looking for a veterinary surgeon with behavioural experience, licensed to work in the UK, to work with us on a new trial examining the effect of a supplement on anxiety in dogs.
We are looking for an experienced veterinarian with an interest in research (some experience of research is essential but further specialist training will be given as needed) to take the lead on a case series, relating to the effects of a probiotic on dogs with anxiety. You will need to be highly organised and have excellent interpersonal skills, as you will be working with owners and vets as part of our clinical team dedicated to this role. Postgraduate qualifications in veterinary behavioural medicine or equivalent experience are essential.
You will join the Animal Behaviour Cognition and Welfare Group at the University of Lincoln and enjoy the benefits of being part of this internationally recognised group. We are looking for a veterinarian who can work independently on their own project, but also as part of the wider clinical behaviour team.
As one of the largest employers in the city, the University of Lincoln offers exciting career opportunities with the chance to grow and develop to reach your full potential. We also offer a wide range of staff benefits, including a generous annual leave allowance of 30 days per year pro rata (plus an additional 14 bank holiday and concessionary days), progressive pay rates, access to discounts at popular stores and more.
If you would like further information or an informal discussion about this exciting opportunity, please contact Professor Daniel Mills at DMills@lincoln.ac.uk.
When completing your application, please ensure you include details of all qualifications you hold in relation to the post.
