Two fully funded PhD positions are available at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) focusing on cow–calf contact systems in dairy production. The project aims to explore how these systems can promote good animal welfare and function effectively for cows, calves, and farmers. Candidates will join a supportive research environment with close interdisciplinary collaboration and opportunities to develop independent research ideas. The research will address key topics in animal welfare, behaviour, and management within modern dairy systems. The project is ideal for candidates interested in agriculture, veterinary science, and animal behaviour, and offers a chance to contribute to innovative solutions in sustainable dairy production. Applicants should have a relevant master's degree (such as animal science, veterinary science, or biology) and a strong interest in animal welfare and management. The positions are fully funded, covering tuition and providing a stipend. For more information and to apply, visit the official JobbNorge posting. The main supervisor encourages motivated candidates to reach out with questions.
