PhD Student in Animal Science | slu.se SLU - Science and Education for Sustainable Life

We're hiring a PhD student to work on genomic prediction and genetic variation in farm animals.

There will be cattle, genomics, simulation, and there might be poultry.

And if you already have a PhD, consider sharing with someone who hasn't, and might be a good fit. :)

The price of perfection: Opting out of variety - a danger to animal immunity and survival | slu.se For thousands of years, humans have been controlling the breeding of dogs, horses and farm animals. Despite the benefits, this has led to unexpectedly high risks for the animals. With knowledge from r...

Genetic variation is the key to species resilience, enabling populations to adapt to changing environmental conditions. Our research group will take a deep dive into the variation present in the genes encoding for central roles of the immune system. www.slu.se/en/news/2025...
