The Department of Population Health Sciences of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine is looking for an enthusiastic Lecturer in Biostatistics, who can work collectively as scientists, veterinarians, students, and support staff.
Solid and reliable science is required to produce evidence for better animal health, animal welfare, and a more sustainable production of animal derived proteins (milk, eggs, meat). This also contributes to a further understanding of the many challenges that animals face in their environment and in their interaction with humans and human society. The support of statistical experts is essential to appreciate, produce and valuate new evidence, insight and methodology for veterinary medicine.
The primary task will be consultancy on research methodology, data analysis and advanced statistics for staff, PhD candidates, and students from a diverse range of research areas in the life and clinical sciences at the faculty of Veterinary Medicine. This consultancy will often take the form of collaboration in research projects and publications. In addition, an important task is to contribute to teaching and examining existing courses at Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD level.
