About this position

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service in Athens, Georgia, within the Quality & Safety Assessment Research Unit (QSARU) at the U.S. National Poultry Research Center. The project focuses on poultry meat quality, with a particular emphasis on understanding the biological factors that influence breast meat defects in broiler chickens.

The fellow will work on research aimed at identifying the underlying biological mechanisms associated with chicken breast myopathies and developing strategies to reduce their incidence and severity. The work sits within ARS National Program 306, Product Quality and New Uses, and is linked to the mission of improving product quality and safety in agricultural commodities.

Training is embedded throughout the appointment, with exposure to animal and poultry science, molecular biology, genomics, biochemistry, food science, poultry nutrition, and poultry processing. The fellow will take part in experimental design, planning and conducting trials, sample collection, processing, data analysis, and reporting results, while working under mentorship in a research environment focused on agricultural product quality and food safety.

The appointment is based in a U.S. government research setting that brings together scientists and researchers working on practical challenges in poultry and agricultural commodity quality.

Funding details

Monthly stipend of $79,000.00 yearly, commensurate with educational level and experience; appointment initially for one year and may be renewed subject to recommendation and availability of funds.

What's required

Applicants should be currently pursuing or have received a doctoral degree in animal science, muscle and meat science, molecular biology, nutrition, genomics, biochemistry, chemistry, food science/technology, or a closely related field. The degree must have been received within the past five years or be anticipated by 2026-12-31. The opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only. Preferred skills include knowledge of molecular biology and associated techniques, poultry science, muscle biology/meat science and/or animal physiology, growth, and nutrition, and experience handling biological samples.
