investigations.

project and to organise the submission of carcases for post-mortem 
examination.
   *   To conduct laboratory analyses and investigations, and be 
responsible for sample submissions to external laboratories

The successful candidate will:

   *   Have a BSc degree, or equivalent and either i/ a postgraduate 
qualification, or ii/ at least two years relevant experience, is 
essential.
