About the College

The Royal College of Pathologists is a professional membership organisation with charitable status concerned with all matters relating to the science and practice of pathology. It is a body of its Fellows, Diplomates, Affiliates, and trainees, supported by staff based at the College's London offices.

The College is a charity with over 13,000 members worldwide. The majority of members are doctors and scientists working in hospitals and universities in the UK.

The College oversees the training of pathologists and scientists across 17 specialties, including cellular pathology, haematology, clinical biochemistry, and medical microbiology.

While some pathologists work in laboratories, many work directly with patients in hospitals and the community. They are involved in most diagnoses and play vital roles in disease prevention, treatment, and monitoring. If you've had a blood test, cervical smear, or tissue biopsy, a pathologist likely contributed to your care.

The Royal College of Pathologists values diversity and is committed to encouraging inclusion across all backgrounds. We aim to involve more people of all identities and backgrounds in the College.

We reserve the right to close the position early if we receive enough suitable applications.
