Postdoctoral position
SLU develops knowledge about natural resources as well as social systems – everything that lives and grows. At SLU we conduct research, teach and inform about the opportunities, and possible risks incurred, when using our forests, landscapes, soils and animals in different ways.
SLU offers a broad spectrum of educational programmes and single subject courses. About 3 300 undergraduates and 800 postgraduate students are enrolled at SLU. A total of
3 000 people are employed at the University.
Main campuses are located at Alnarp, Skara, Ultuna and Umeå. Research and teaching activities are carried out throughout the country.
www.slu.seThe Department of Clinical Sciences, Section for Veterinary Epidemiology, invites applicants for a one-year full-time postdoctoral position.
The aim of the project is to evaluate if temporal and spatial patterns in reproductive performance of dairy cows can be used for environmental monitoring and assessment. This involves computing spatial statistics and modelling of data from several existing secondary databases with information on e.g. dairy cow fertility, biogeochemical composition of soil, meteorological data. The successful candidate is expected to work closely with colleagues in a multidisciplinary group and to develop a research program within the area. The position is for an initial duration of one year, starting December 2008 or as soon as possible thereafter, with possibility for prolongation. The salary is negotiated individually.
Eligibility and qualifications: A typical qualifying background is a master’s degree in Animal or Veterinary Science, Life Science, Meteorology, Geology, Engineering, or a closely related field. Applicants must have a PhD in a relevant area, with education or training in GIS/geocomputation/geoinformatics. Own research experience with GIS is highly desirable. The applicant should have good communication skills and proven skills in both oral and written scientific English. Familiarity with the dairy industry is an asset.
Documents that should be included in the application: CV, publication list, PhD diploma, copies of no more than five publications. A short description (2-4 pages) of previous research, current research interests and other activities of relevance for the position. Telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of at least two referees should be included. All application documents should be written in English.
SLU is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
