We are looking for a livestock research technician to work with us on a project to understand how the mixing of weaned calves from different sources farms affects the transmission of bacteria and viruses among calves. The project is titled “Ecology and evolution of pathogen-microbiome-host interactions during population-level intermingling” and is funded by the BBSRC. The project will involve the housing of up to 50 weaned calves in group pens for three, five-week periods. The primary role of this position is to support investigators with sample collection and processing, collection of calves from various farms, and they will be primarily responsible for the animal feeding and bedding, which will involve weekends during study periods. The results of this project will lead to new information on calf husbandry best practices to reduce the risk of infectious diseases of calves.
