The posting

Applicants are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Animal and Veterinary Sciences programme. The position is available from 01 March 2027 or later. You can submit your application via the link under 'how to apply'.

Research area and project description:

We are seeking a dedicated PhD student for a 3-year position within the topic of dairy production with fresh grass as a main forage source.

The impact of dairy production on environment and climate is of continued importance and interest. Cropping and feeding fresh grass can potentially improve the impact of dairy production on greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen leakage to surrounding fresh waters.

The project investigates the potential of maximizing fresh grass forage intake to reduce enteric methane emission and increase nitrogen utilization, while maintaining milk production. A series of trials with lactating dairy cows are planned investigating combinations of grazing, zero-grazing, and multispecies swards.

This project offers:

  • A unique opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable agriculture and environmental-friendly milk production
  • An active and stimulating academic environment with several other PhD students and early career staff
  • Access to state-of-the-art research facilities for both barn-housing, grazing, and pasture management for dairy cattle
  • Collaboration with a range of research partners
  • Collaborative projects that foster innovative thinking and practical implementation

Qualifications and specific competences:

Applicants to the PhD position must hold a relevant university degree (MSc) in Animal Science, Agricultural Science, or related fields.

The candidate is expected to have:

  • Understanding of ruminant nutrition and digestion
  • Experience with data handling and analysis using at least one software.
  • Ability and interest in collaborating across disciplines with project partners.
  • Ability to communicate effectively in English.
  • Good scientific and writing skills.

Place of employment and place of work:

The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is Department of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Research center Foulum, Blichers allé 20, 8830 Tjele, Denmark.
