Combined 4-year Residency and Masters Programme in Veterinary Anatomic Pathology x2
Graduates with at least one year’s experience in a relevant field (clinical work, research, field work, etc.) are invited to apply for a combined Scholarship and Master`s degree by research. Two such positions are available.
Applicants must be a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons or hold a veterinary degree qualifying them for membership. The successful candidate is expected to sit board-certification examinations of the European College of Veterinary Pathology (ECVP) or American College of Veterinary Pathology (ACVP).
The training programme requires participation in the Division`s veterinary diagnostic services (strong focus on necropsy service with a more minor biopsy component), undertaking a Masters research project and contribution to small-group teaching of veterinary students (please also see https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/vet/cad/residencytraining/#Overview).
The two Masters (MVM) projects associated with the residency programme are a) Immunohistochemical investigation of granulomata of unknown aetiology in reptiles and amphibians and b) Comparison of sensitivity and specificity of different herpesvirus antibodies on grey seal tissues infected with PhHV1, and canine and feline tissues infected with CHV1 and FHV1, supported by automated image analysis.
Scholarships are renewed annually, subject to satisfactory progress. The initial stipend is £29,025 (PAYE exempt) and rises to £30,474 by the fourth year. £1,500 per annum is available for attendance at conference(s), examination fees and externship costs. The proposed start dates are July 1st 2026 and January 11th 2027.
