Responsibilities

The successful candidate will develop an innovative and externally funded research and teaching program in nutritional physiology and metabolism of livestock species.

The candidate will be expected to establish a nationally recognized research program supported by extramural funding and to mentor graduate students. Teaching responsibilities will include undergraduate (e.g. ANSC 3400 – Animal Nutrition) and graduate courses in animal nutrition, metabolism, and physiology.
