Offer DescriptionFaculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science
Applied Animal Science and Welfare
One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognizes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment are closely linked and interdependent. By linking humans, animals and the environment, One Health can help to address the full spectrum of disease control – from prevention to detection, preparedness, response and management – and contribute to global health security. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (VH Faculty) hosts SLU Future One Health, a strategic platform for the whole university for interdisciplinary research, education and collaboration for good health and welfare for animals and humans in sustainable ecosystems.
As a complement to SLU Future One Health, the VH faculty will establish a One Health Hub linked to animal husbandry. The Hub will have three core areas with One Health Professors: 1) comparative medicine: similarities and differences in biology between domestic animals and humans; 2) antimicrobial resistance: keeping antimicrobials effective; and 3) healthy food-producing animals in circular systems.
The Department of Clinical Sciences conducts undergraduate education, research and postgraduate education in the scientific fields of veterinary medicine, animal care and animal science. The department's activities mainly concern our usual Swedish domestic animal species with a focus on anaesthesiology, imaging, animal care, epidemiology, experimental animal science, surgery, clinical chemistry, medicine and reproduction. The veterinary teaching hospital (VTH) is part of the department.
The subject is One Health with focus on Comparative Medicine, i.e., similarities and differences in the biology of animal species including humans. The subject includes the development of new diagnostic tools, prophylaxis and treatment methods for the benefit of both humans and domesticated animals regarding dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, goats and pigs.
Duties
The applicant will be expected to:
- develop and lead internationally successful research;
- develop, lead and participate in teaching at first, second and third cycle levels;
- primarily in the veterinary program, in addition to other programs covering the subject;
- develop and maintain national and international networks with academia, the relevant public authorities, industry, organisations and society at large;
- collaborate with other SLU research teams to strengthen interdisciplinary One Health activities at the university;
- apply for external research funding from both national and international sources;
- supervise doctoral students and residents undergoing specialist training;
- actively participate in clinical work and teaching;
- contribute to the strategic development of the department, faculty and SLU;
- communicate research findings and other relevant information to society at large;
- perform administrative duties within the department, faculty and university.
