Assistant Veterinary Pathologist: Aquatic, Zoo and Wildlife Species

International Zoo Veterinary Group (IZVG)

The role: Working alongside our existing principal veterinary pathologist, who will be your direct line manager, with two histology technicians, and supported by zoological medicine clinical specialists, you will take immediate responsibility for a caseload that comprises significant numbers of marine aquarium fish, non-domestic mammalian (particularly primate), avian, and lower vertebrate species, as well as invertebrates. Diagnostic histopathology will be a major part of your daily work, for IZVG’s own clients and for external clients including veterinary surgeons and referral laboratories. Necropsy examinations are also a frequent and irreplaceable feature of our work, occasionally necessitating travel off-site. A network of external collaborators enables us to source additional diagnostic testing as necessary. Opportunities exist for input into conservation projects in association with field biologists and vets, and to publish and present your work nationally and internationally.
