Subject description

Large animal surgery includes surgical treatments and method development on horses and pigs, as well as the large and small ruminants commonly found in Sweden. The aim of surgical treatment is to restore or optimise biological function and minimise potential suffering. It also includes procedures such as castration and dehorning performed in animal husbandry.

Essentially, the subject is divided into general and specialised surgery, which includes traditional soft tissue surgery and orthopaedic surgery, but there are also sub-specialities such as ophthalmology and dentistry.

Duties

This is a fixed-term appointment (4 years) as regulated in the Higher Education Ordinance. The role of associate senior lecturer is a career-development position that is the first step on the academic career path at SLU. The associate senior lecturer must develop an individual research profile within their subject. Research is expected to take place in collaboration with researchers both at the department and throughout the university. National and international collaborations are also expected.
