Who We Are
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences is a pioneer of purpose-driven science and Cornell University’s second largest college. We work across disciplines to tackle the challenges of our time through world-renowned research, education and outreach. The questions we probe and the answers we seek focus on three overlapping concerns: natural and human systems; food, energy and environmental resources; and social, physical and economic well-being.
The Department of Animal Science offers undergraduate and graduate programs on the biology and management of food, laboratory, and companion animal species. Our research programs advance our understanding of animal biology and address local and global issues facing animal industries today. Our goals are to discover and develop new techniques and information to benefit animals, agriculture, and human health. The Department’s 19 faculty members, many internationally recognized, have diverse interests in animal management, breeding, genetics, physiology, nutrition, growth biology, and microbiology.
The selected candidate for this part-time role will join a national team of researchers in developing a next generation whole dairy farm model to investigate sustainable farming solutions. The model will help researchers better inform farmers, practitioners, and thought leaders of the environmental and economic impacts of on-farm practices. The design and structure of the model prioritizes transparency, flexibility, and adaptability so that connections between animal, manure, soil, and crop nutrient cycling can be simulated under a diverse array of farming practices and environmental conditions. The large project team and emphasis on transparency and documentation, necessitates administrative support for scheduling, planning, and recording meetings; formatting and organization of documentation materials; and development of project communications materials including but not limited to team newsletters and a project website.
