Hello animal behavior researchers!
At
the Animal Pain Research Institute, we partner with industrial
selective breeding programs to improve animal health and welfare, with
current projects in shrimp and chickens.
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced scientist to liaise with animal welfare and behavioral scientists, ethologists, and agricultural geneticists. Together with these collaborators, you will play a crucial role in shaping breeding strategies to improve health and welfare among numerous animals, starting with shrimp and chickens.
You will engage with researchers studying animal behavior and affective states. You either have a developed understanding of the limitations and nuances of many behavioral assays, or can quickly assimilate relevant literature and verify your conclusion via correspondence with top scientists. You will use this knowledge to determine the best assays for studying behavior and assigning behavioral phenotypes to animals.
Please reach out with any questions you may have.
