Lecturer in Clinical Animal Behaviour

Lecturer in Clinical Animal Behaviour School of Natural Sciences

Location: Lincoln

Salary: From £38,784 per annum

Closing date: Sunday 12 July 2026

The School of Natural Sciences at the University of Lincoln seeks to appoint a Lecturer in Clinical Animal Behaviour to support teaching and scholarship across our undergraduate and postgraduate provision and the work of the University of Lincoln Animal Behaviour Clinic.

The post requires a MRCVS veterinarian (registered to practise in the UK) who has expertise in Behavioural Medicine and who would be interested in teaching extensively (but not exclusively) on the MSc in Clinical Animal Behaviour and taking over management of the clinic. A higher qualification or accreditation in Behavioural Medicine is desirable, alternatively the willingness to work towards this would be considered.

The successful applicant will work as part of a small and supportive clinical team comprising a European Specialist, Residents of the ECAWBM and Non‑Veterinary Behaviourists, one holding a CCAB accreditation, as well as alongside the wider School of Natural Sciences staff, which enables interdisciplinary collaborations. This provides an excellent opportunity to develop an academic career from a clinical background.

Experience in teaching or clinical mentoring is desirable as is business or practice management experience.

Alongside teaching and student support, you will engage in scholarship and/or professional practice appropriate to your career stage, contributing to the School’s vibrant academic environment.

The School of Natural Sciences provides a friendly and collaborative environment, with excellent facilities located at the University’s city‑centre Brayford Pool Campus.

The University of Lincoln is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and as an Athena Swan Bronze Award holder, particularly encourages applications from women and others underrepresented in STEM.

We strive for a diverse workforce with the very best employees and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all. The University encourages applications from underrepresented groups, including Black, Asian and other minoritised/marginalised ethnic groups, all gender identities and expressions from the LGBTQIA+ community, candidates with a disability, and those that practise different faiths and beliefs, to enhance our One Community where we strive to be kind, patient, and supportive of each other.
