Position Description

The Department of Animal Science in the College of Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences at the University of California, Davis, is recruiting
an Assistant Professor of Poultry Science, with a preferred emphasis in
immunology, nutrition, genetics or physiology.

The appointee is expected to establish a competitively funded research
program in Poultry Science to address critical or emerging issues in poultry
production, health, and well-being by applying cutting-edge and innovative
strategies. We seek candidates who can utilize innovative approaches and
leverage cutting-edge technologies, such as single-cell sequencing,
genome-wide CRISPR screens, genome-editing, or artificial intelligence and
machine learning to explore and elucidate the underlying mechanisms of
biological processes that impact poultry at the cellular, tissue, and
organism levels.

Qualifications:

Ph.D. or equivalent degree in Poultry Science, Avian Science, Animal Science,
Animal Biology, or related field of poultry science (degree must be awarded
by start of the position). Post-doctoral experience is preferred. Evidence of
research excellence is expected. The candidate should have the ability to
develop and instruct undergraduate and graduate courses and the ability to
develop and conduct extramurally funded research in animal genetics. The
candidate should also have an interest, understanding and commitment to the
objectives of a land-grant university and the Agricultural Experiment
Station, including mission-oriented research and a substantive outreach.

Required application materials include: 1) curriculum vitae including
publication list, 2) up to three publications, 3) transcripts if the
applicant is within five years of Ph.D. degree, 4) Statement of Research
Accomplishments and Future Research Plans relevant to Poultry Science 5)
Statement of Teaching Accomplishments and Philosophy, 6) Statement of
Contributions to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and 7) three professional
reference letters and 8) an Authorization to Release Information form.
Additional inquiries should be directed to Dr. Huaijun Zhou, Search Committee
Chair, hzhouucdavis.edu.
