Graduate Studentship in Cattle Behaviour and Welfare

A full-time graduate student position (with stipend) is available now to work on practical applications of the learning abilities of beef and dairy cattle to improve their health, welfare and production. Initial enrolment would be at the M Sc level with the possibility of extension to a Ph D. However, students who already have an M Sc with some experience in animal behaviour, who wish to enroll for a Ph D, would also be considered. The successful applicant would work with Dr. Joe Stookey at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, Saskatoon, SK, Canada and with Drs. Jeff Rushen and Anne Marie de Passillé at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Research Centre in Agassiz, British Columbia. For further information please contact Dr. Joe Stookey at joseph.stookey@usask.ca
