Veterinary anatomist sought for RCVS Share Jones Lectureship

We are seeking a lecturer of special eminence in veterinary anatomy for our 2013 Share Jones Lectureship. This is a prestigious, biennial award whose recipients give a public lecture on an agreed subject.

Recent lectures have included ‘Who says you can’t be big and nimble? The fragility of giant land animals’, given in 2011 by Professor John Hutchinson, whose expertise includes the anatomy and locomotion of dinosaurs and crocodiles; and ‘Sex and Regeneration: Lessons from Nature,’ a study of deer antlers presented by Professor Jo Price (pictured).

“It was a great privilege to be asked to deliver the Share Jones Lecture and it was an experience that I will remember as one of the highlights of my career,” says Jo.

“This lecture provides a unique opportunity for those of us with a deep interest in structure-function relationships to showcase the discipline of veterinary anatomy and inspire the next generation of veterinary scientists.”

Any lecturer who has achieved special eminence in veterinary anatomy is eligible for nomination; RCVS membership is not a requirement.

Nominations will be considered by our Education Policy and Specialisation Committee in February, with decisions made by RCVS Council in March.

To nominate a candidate for the lectureship, please email his or her CV, with a letter of recommendation, to Ms Anne Jermey ([email protected]) by Friday, 11 January 2013.
