An exciting opportunity exits for a Lecturer in Anatomy to join the Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences on a continuing basis.

About the role

The Lecturer (Veterinary Anatomy) will provide leadership and excellence in teaching at the University of Melbourne’s Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences, Melbourne Veterinary School.

This approach incorporates teaching across the traditional disciplines of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and pathology, through lectures, workshops, practical classes and case studies.

The Lecturer (Veterinary Anatomy) will actively participate in the provision of mentoring and teaching of DVM students.

As with all University staff, effective promotion of positive engagement in learning and career development of self and others, and actively promoting equity, diversity and cultural awareness consistent with University values is an expectation of this position.

The position will be primarily located at the Parkville campus of the University of Melbourne but will be expected to teach and to attend meetings, seminars and conferences at other campuses or facilities from time to time.
