Applications
are invited for a three year Postdoctoral Research Associate position
in the University of Bristol School of Veterinary Sciences. The RA will
be working on an exciting new multidisciplinary BBSRC funded research
project looking at the effect of range use on the health and welfare of
laying hens. Advanced tracking technology will be used to monitor
activity and range use on-farm, which will be related to the two most
urgent problems of hen welfare - keel bone fracture and injurious
feather pecking. The research team will be headed by Dr John Tarlton and
Professor Christine Nicol, leaders in the fields of bone biology,
skeletal health, animal behaviour and welfare. (http://www.bris.ac.uk/vetscience/people/john-f-tarlton/index.html; http://www.bris.ac.uk/vetscience/people/christine-j-nicol/index.html).
Applicants will be expected to have postdoctoral experience in related
research areas. However, training will be provided in welfare
assessment, use of activity and tracking technology and bone biology as
appropriate.
For informal enquiries please contact Dr John Tarlton (0117 9289266; john.tarlton@bristol.ac.uk).
