Subject: Ph.D. Opportunity in Applied Data Science for
Livestock Production
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 10:39:20 -0500
We invite talented and enthusiastic candidates to apply for an exciting Ph.D.
assistantship opportunity at the Department of Animal and Dairy Science,
University of Georgia. The successful candidate will develop research
projects on Applied Data Science for Livestock Production, with a particular
emphasis on integrating high-dimensional data for monitoring health and
welfare indicators in dairy cattle.
The lab's research program centers on combining on-farm sensor data and
artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for animal monitoring. The general
goal is to create decision-making tools that will support efficient
management decisions at the farm level. Additionally, we employ
high-throughput phenotyping alongside modern molecular technologies to
investigate the genetic basis of novel and hard-to-measure traits.
Students will have the opportunity to work with genomic information and
different data measured through on-farm sensor technologies, including
cameras, radio-frequency identification systems, acoustic sensors, and
automatic milking systems. Graduate students will receive training in data
analytics, data mining, and machine learning. We are particularly interested
in students with a keen interest in areas such as animal breeding, machine
learning, big-data analytics, or predictive analytics. The successful
applicant is expected to develop projects using programming languages such as
R, Python, or C++. Therefore, previous experience with any of these languages
is a bonus.

Interested candidates must send a CV to alvesanduga.edu no later than
03/30/2024.
