Postdoctoral Associate in Dairy
Science or Veterinary Medicine
Postdoctoral Associate in Dairy Science or Veterinary Medicine
The focus of this applied program is the impact of milking
technicians on udder health. We aim to support science-based
development and on-farm implementation of innovative technologies and
milking routines. Emphasis is given to monitoring (through traditional
and AI based tools) and engaging employees. Training modules will be
used to stimulate behavior changes towards best practice standards to
improve udder health and animal welfare. This is a collaborative
project involving the QMPS group, producers and dairy farm employees.
The successful candidate will design and implement research projects
related to factors and human behaviors that might affect the milk
harvesting process and udder health on dairy farms. Also, innovative
online training modules for dairy employees considering diverse
backgrounds will be developed and studied. Most of the effort will be
spent on developing science-based and contextual assessment and
training strategies, monitoring relevant outcomes, and associated data
collection and analysis. A data-driven approach will be implemented to
conduct sound research on monitoring and development of dairy
employees and the impact on optimizing the milking process and udder
health on dairy farms. The candidate will design, coordinate, and
perform field studies and prepare manuscripts for high impact
scientific journals and will have opportunities to present and publish
scholarly work at local, national, and international venues. This
position will work closely with faculty in the Cornell Institute for
Digital Agriculture (CIDA) and is available immediately. The ideal
candidate will have expertise in dairy cattle research, including
milking management, milker training, data collection and analysis, and
effective presentation/publication of research findings. A DVM or
post-graduate degree (PhD or equivalent) in veterinary, animal,
biological science or related field is required. The College of
Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University is recognized
internationally as a leader in public health, biomedical research,
animal medicine, and veterinary medical education. Ranked consistently
as one of the best veterinary colleges in the nation, the College's
strength is due to its strategic breadth of focus areas and its depth
of expertise in each of those areas; the achievements of its faculty,
staff, alumni, and students; and its commitment to diversity and
inclusiveness. Postdoctoral Associates receive competitive salaries
according to the Cornell University Postdoctoral Associate stipend
system which follows the National Institutes of Health Fellowship and
Training Stipend Levels. Start date is negotiable; the position has an
initial duration of one-year with potential extension based on
performance, productivity, and funding. The position will require
some work with cattle at the dairy units of Cornell University and
commercial dairy farms in upstate New York. Ideally, the candidate
should feel comfortable conducting basic handling work with dairy cows
in a farm setting and communicating with dairy employees. The ideal
candidate will enjoy working and communicating with a
multi-disciplinary team of academics, clinical experts, and students
at Cornell University. This position will require a passion for
continuing education, online training and attention to detail,
leadership abilities, and problem-solving skills. Strong interest in
state-of-the-art technologies (AI, online training), aspects of the
scientific study process is required, and possibilities exist at
Cornell University to pursue further training in research, teaching,
and communication skills. Previous experience with standard laboratory
methods is not necessary. Candidates must possess excellent
communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively in our
team, as well as a willingness to learn new methods and techniques as
the projects evolve. The successful candidate will work on this
project together with other members of the QMPS group, the 3 regional
QMPS labs as well as collaborate with personnel across Cornell
University and beyond. Pay Range: $56,.00 -
$80,.00 Informal inquiries regarding the position may be directed to
