Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor

Senior Lecturer / Associate Professor – Small Animal Surgery | Perth. Western Australia

Some careers are built on the cases you treat. Others are defined by the surgeons you inspire.

If you're ready to combine world-class clinical surgery with teaching, research and the opportunity to shape the next generation of veterinary specialists, this could be the move that changes everything.

Welcome to The Animal Hospital at Murdoch University.

With one of their long-standing Professors preparing for a well-earned retirement, they're looking for an exceptional Small Animal Surgeon to help write the next chapter.

Whether you’re a dedicated Orthopaedic or Soft Tissue surgeon, or enjoy a healthy mix of both, you’ll find yourself surrounded by people who genuinely love what they do.

This is the kind of place where you can bounce ideas around over coffee, discuss challenging cases with fellow specialists and still be learning years into your career.

You'll work alongside board-certified surgeons, talented residents, interns and an outstanding multidisciplinary team, seeing a fascinating referral caseload that keeps every week interesting.

Yes, you'll teach too, but don't let that put you off if you've never lectured before. If you enjoy explaining your thought process, encouraging others and sharing what you've learned over the years, you'll fit in brilliantly.

Why You'll Enjoy

• Salary negotiated around you and your experience.
• Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance available.
• Generous superannuation and clinical market loading.
• A referral caseload that will challenge and inspire you.
• Teach, mentor and help shape the next generation of surgeons.
• Protected opportunities for research and professional development.
• A friendly, collaborative team that enjoys solving difficult cases together.
• Fully equipped specialist referral hospital with advanced diagnostics.

The Animal Hospital at Murdoch University isn't your typical referral hospital. It's a place where specialists, academics and clinicians work side by side because everyone shares the same goal: providing exceptional care while continually pushing the profession forward. There are no egos to navigate, just knowledgeable people who enjoy working together and supporting one another.

Then there's Perth.

When the last case is finished, you're never far from something worth doing. A swim at Cottesloe Beach, dinner by the Swan River, a bike ride, a surf, a weekend exploring the Margaret River wine region or simply enjoying another sunny evening outdoors.

With more than 3,000 hours of sunshine each year, it's the sort of lifestyle people dream about, without having to compromise on the quality of their career.

So, what’s next?

If you're looking for a role where you can challenge yourself clinically, inspire future veterinarians and enjoy an outstanding lifestyle along the way, we'd love to hear from you.

Send your CV (even if it’s not up to date) or reach out with any questions.  They want to know the person, not just the paperwork.

The next few years at Murdoch University are going to be exciting. Why not help them write the next chapter?
