Background
Interbull, a permanent sub-committee of the International Committee for Animal Recording, is a professional organization offering international genetic evaluations and other services to its members in more than 40 countries worldwide. Interbull plans are realized at its operational unit, the Interbull Centre, based under contract at the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics (DABG), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Uppsala. At DABG, more than 60 researchers and PhD-students are involved in quantitative and molecular genetics research, including genomic evaluation.
Job description
A growing number of Interbull member countries participating in international genetic evaluations are using genomic information in the national genetic evaluations of dairy cattle populations. Thus, Interbull Centre has started to address issues related to the “integration of genomic evaluations into the international genetic evaluations”. A network of internationally renowned scientists is already supporting Interbull Centre on these issues. In order to intensify and speed up Interbull Centre’s effort in this area a post-doc position is announced for a period of two years.
The area of research includes validation of national genomic evaluations and how the information on conventional and genomic predicted genetic merits should be combined with each other in an international evaluation.
Qualifications
Candidates should have a Ph.D. in animal breeding or related fields (e.g. quantitative genetics, statistical genetics). A background in genetic evaluation is essential. Candidates should have demonstrated evidence of good scientific capabilities, including strong analytical, biometrical and computational skills, and a willingness to work collaboratively. The working language at the Interbull Centre is English.
Location
Interbull Centre, Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden. Uppsala is situated 30 minutes north of Arlanda international airport and 45 minutes north of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. It is one of the major university cities in Sweden and offers an attractive mix of history, culture, modern hi-tech industry and a Nordic nature.
We expect the holder of the position to start as soon as possible.
