The subject area for the two positions is Agricultural Science with specialisation in animal production systems, interactions between the animals and their environment, and technical farm building solutions.

Research experience with connection to the Sustainable Development Goals and Animal Welfare is of relevance for the development of the subject. Various forms of farm-technology are applied and modified when studying animal-environment interactions. Thus, interest in systems and methods for surveillance of production, performance, animal health and behaviour is considered important.
