Areas of emphasis may include, but are not limited to, nutrient partitioning and metabolic regulation, microbiome-host interactions, precision nutrition and nutrient utilization efficiency, and metabolic responses to environmental and management stressors.
The program is expected to lead and contribute to interdisciplinary, collaborative research efforts across Animal Sciences and related units. 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. The position will also contribute to curriculum development and high-impact experiences for students. The successful candidate will be responsible for communicating effectively with a variety of individuals and groups.
