Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 within UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science A Post Doctoral researcher is required to support research activities in the field of ruminant livestock production and enteric methane emissions.

Associated impacts on animal performance, milk yield, quality and processability will also be determined.

This project will quantify the potential of a range of feed ingredients and feed additives (novel and established) to reduce daily methane output from lactating dairy cows while also quantifying their effects on a range of animal physiological and production parameters. The primary responsibilities within the role will relate to animal husbandry and handling, measurement and analysis of enteric methane emissions data and measurement of rumen fermentation variables with a concurrent role in managing pasture based lactating dairy cows at UCD Lyons farm.
