PhD Scholarship – Growth & Production Traits of Lot-Fed Beef Cattle

Join the team at Murdoch University to help shape the future of northern Australian beef production.

This exciting opportunity includes a $37,000 AUD tax-free stipend per year along with operational funding, providing competitive support for your research development.

You will be joining a dynamic, industry-connected team delivering field-experiments with cattle in WA’s Ord River region exploring the use of locally grown cottonseed by-products and cutting-edge feedlot nutrition.

Your work will extend beyond the paddock to incorporate innovative technologies that deliver value to agricultural industry, strengthen MSA grading systems and implement novel welfare metrics to link on-farm performance with carcass quality.

This opportunity is open to domestic & international PhD candidates (English IELTS = 6.5)

The successful candidate will have an Honours degree (or equivalent) in agricultural science or a related field, well-developed interpersonal skills, and high levels of written and oral communication skills. Ability to work independently in a feedlot and meat processing environment, relevant knowledge and/or experience of the Australian beef industry, research skills experience and ability to use or learn to use various technologies are desirable.
