We are pleased to offer a 1-year postdoctoral position opportunity in the laboratory of Dr. Matthias Wieland with possible extension depending on funding and performance. The goal of our research is the optimization of the milk harvesting process in dairy cows. In this applied program, we aim to support science-based development and on-farm implementation of innovative machine technologies and milking routines with emphasis on practices that improve udder health and animal well-being. The candidate will design and implement research projects related to optimizing the milk harvesting process on dairy farms and work toward developing best dairy cattle management practices. 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 is supported by the Cornell Institute for Digital Agriculture (CIDA) and is available immediately.

The ideal candidate will have expertise in the data sciences with software programming skills in SAS, JMP, R Statistical Software, or others and a strong publication record. A post-graduate degree (PhD, DVM or equivalent) in veterinary, animal, or the biological science is desired but not required. The position will require some work with cattle at the dairy units of Cornell University and commercial dairy farms in the upstate New York region. Ideally, the candidate feels comfortable conducting basic handling work with large animals in a dairy farm setting. The ideal candidate will enjoy working and communicating with a multi-disciplinary team of academics, clinical experts, and students at Cornell University, and will have opportunities to present and publish scholarly work at local, national, and international venues.

Salary will be commensurate with credentials and experience.
