Position Description
The Department of Animal Science in the College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis, is
recruiting an Assistant Professor of Animal Genetics. The appointee is
expected to establish a competitively funded research program to address
critical or emerging issues in the genetic improvement of food animal
populations. We seek candidates who will leverage emerging methods and
technologies, which may include genome editing, multi-omics approaches,
novel quantitative genetic methods, stem cell biology, or reproductive
biology, and integrate these with classical genetic improvement approaches
to achieve this objective.
Qualifications:
Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Animal Breeding and Genetics, Animal Science,
Animal Biology, Genetics, Genomics, or related field of animal genetics
(degree must be awarded by start of the position). Post-doctoral experience
is preferred. Evidence of research excellence is expected. The candidate
should have the ability to develop and instruct undergraduate and graduate
courses and the ability to develop and conduct extramurally funded research
in animal genetics. The candidate should also have an interest,
understanding and commitment to the objectives of a land-grant university
and the Agricultural Experiment Station, including mission-oriented
research and a substantive outreach.
Required application materials include: 1) curriculum vitae including
publication list, 2) up to three publications, 3) transcripts if the
applicant is within five years of Ph.D. degree, 4) Statement of Research
Accomplishments and Future Research Plans relevant to Animal Genetics, 5)
Statement of Teaching Accomplishments and Philosophy, 6) Statement of
Contributions to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and 7) three
professional reference letters and 8) an Authorization to Release
Information form. Additional inquiries should be directed to Dr. Hao
Cheng, Search Committee Chair, qtlchengucdavis.edu. Initial review of
