The program goal should be to better understand the physiological, hormonal, or nutritional control of avian female reproduction and fertility. Appropriate research areas might include oogenesis, folliculogenesis, vitellogenesis, fertilization, oviduct physiology, or embryogenesis. The successful applicant will be expected to develop a nationally recognized, extramurally-funded research program with a focus that complements departmental strengths in growth and development, genetics, immunology, nutrition, and management. In addition, the successful applicant will have the opportunity to interact with fellow research scientists through participation in the Interdepartmental Graduate Programs in Animal Science and Pathobiology, the Intercollege Graduate Programs in Genetics, Nutrition, and Physiology, and through the Life Sciences Consortium. Ph.D. in biological science with training in avian biology highly desirable.
Postdoctoral experience is highly desirable.
Strong communication skills, a commitment to teaching, and the demonstrated potential to interact in a collaborative, interdisciplinary research setting are necessary. Competitive, commensurate with background and experience. An attractive benefits package is available.
