PhD Position in Quantitative Genetics, Dairy Cattle Resilience and Nitrogen Efficiency Aarhus University in Denmark

Open postdoctoral position in quantitative genetics , biostatistics , and animal breeding focused on the integration of performance testing of candidate crossbred offspring into genetic improvement programmes for laying hens . The contract is hosted by INRAE and is co-funded by the INRAE département GA and the Brittany region through the BIENVENÜE scholarship . The project is embedded in a public-private partnership between INRAE and NOVOGEN , a laying-hen breeding company in Plédran, France. Th...

Aarhus University’s Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to advance quantitative genetics for sustainable cattle breeding. The research addresses sustainability-related traits in dairy cattle, including feed efficiency, nitrogen efficiency, resilience and methane emissions. The successful researcher will contribute to defining and analysing phenotypes generated through QGG’s farm-based infrastructure, which measures methane emissions, feed inta...

Postdoctoral position in avian genetics and genomics at the joint research unit PEGASE (INRAE) in Saint-Gilles, Brittany, France , working on the COCORIX project with industry partner Novogen . The project focuses on improving the genetic performance of laying hens through crossbreeding and integrating performance testing of candidates’ crossbred offspring into breeding programmes. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Nicolas Bédère and Sophie Allais in the Avian Genetics and Genomics team...

This two-year postdoctoral position at Aarhus University is part of the SmartField project, a cross-organizational effort focused on understanding nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural fields and developing improved mitigation and accounting methods for farm and national scales. The project centers on developing a Tier 3, model-based national inventory of N₂O emissions from cultivation of soils in Denmark. The successful candidate will help design and implement the modelling framework, suppo...
