The Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) is a recognized center for research related to breeding for climate related traits like methane emissions and feed efficiency in cattle. This is enabled by an extensive farm-based infrastructure with large scale measurement of methane emissions and feed intake on individual cows, as well as collaborations with industry and international researchers. The selected candidates for these positions will join our team for further advances in this area. This includes phenotype definition, integrating novel genetically related traits using digital tools or functional genomic information or OMICS to improve genomic prediction models. The persons hired will collaborate with industry partners, teach at undergraduate and graduate levels, and supervise Master's and PhD students. Candidates will be responsible for creating a collaborative work environment within and outside QGG that integrates novel innovative research programs towards the green transition in animal agriculture. One position is for 2 years and one is for 3 years of employment.
