Are you interested in genetic modelling and validation of novel phenotypes and phenotyping tools using sensor-based data, including computer vision? Do you want to work with diverse species such as cattle, pigs, insects, and fish across various projects? Then the Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics invites you to apply for a two-year postdoc position.
This is a two-year position from 1 June 2025, or as soon possible thereafter.

JOB DESCRIPTION

• Develop and apply pipelines, computational tools, algorithms, and statistical approaches for analysing sensor-based phenotype data.
• Conduct genetic modelling of sensor-derived phenotypes, including estimating variance components and predicting breeding values, across multiple livestock species.
• Leverage AI and machine learning methods for precision phenotyping, including feature extraction from video and image data.
• Work in an interdisciplinary team involving geneticists, and computer scientists.
• Contribute to publications and dissemination of results in scientific journals and conferences.
• Engage with industry and research collaborators to develop new applications of sensor-based phenotyping.

WHO WE ARE

The Center for Quantitative Genetics and Genomics (QGG) is a vibrant and exciting interdisciplinary center for research and education in quantitative genetics and quantitative genomics (http://www.qgg.au.dk/en). QGG is an international organization with 70 employees and visiting researchers from more than 20 countries. We perform basic and applied research within plant, livestock and human quantitative genetics. Our focus areas include quantitative genetics, artificial intelligence applied to agriculture and precision medicine, population genetics, and integrative genomics. QGG is located at the central campus in Aarhus and at the AU Flakkebjerg campus in newly renovated offices with well-developed research infrastructure, laboratories, equipment, and high-performing computing clusters.
