ASSISTANT PROFESSOR NOTICE OF FILING

Job no: 251262-FA
Work type: Faculty-Full Time
Location: Madison
Categories: Faculty
Department: DEPT-A0725



Job Summary:

The incumbent will perform research, teaching, and outreach in their area of expertise in ways that are relevant to dairy agriculture and related fields.

This individual will develop an extramurally funded and internationally recognized research program in the area of rumen microbial physiology as it relates to animal biology and advancing sustainability of animal sourced food systems. Primary research emphasis should be in dairy cattle but cross-species collaboration is encouraged. A researcher in this discipline can develop an independent research program in areas such as, but not limited to: understanding and modeling interactions of host and microbial community as affected by diet and environment to impact animal phenotypes; microbial genomics and metabolomics; fermentation of feedstuffs; volatile fatty acid production, absorption, and host utilization especially as related to rumen development or rumen efficiency; synergies and cross-feeding between microbes; dynamics of rumen protein fermentation and generation of rumen microbial protein; impacts of microbial species on rumen and host animal efficiency. Programs that contribute to research related to efficient use of crop, land, and water resources to ultimately contribute to system-level sustainability are desirable.

The incumbent will teach classes in their department which also contribute to college undergraduate and graduate programs. Teaching responsibilities will be commensurate with college expectations and consistent with the teaching loads of other departmental faculty.

The individual will be expected to facilitate interdisciplinary efforts and collaborative efforts within the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, and the US Dairy Forage Research Center.
