Genomic selection of cattle and sustainability of livestock production

You will conduct research on multi-breed genomic selection of beef breeds using several sources of molecular information, from markers up to sequences. You will be in charge of developing methods taking advantage of larger reference populations and transposing results obtained on larger breeds, with a special emphasis on new traits to be selected for in both dairy and beef breeds. Desired competencies: skills in Quantitative Genetics and Population Genetics, Statistics and High Throughput Data Analysis, good programming knowledge, basic knowledge or interest in Animal Science, interest in operational use of research results and effective teamwork abilities.
