Wageningen University Advances Livestock Genetic Preservation with New Research Role
Wageningen University & Research is offering a position for a Researcher in Animal Breeding and Genomics, focusing on cryoconservation and reproductive technologies. The role aims to preserve genetic diversity in livestock, fish, and other farm animal species. The successful candidate will work on developing methods for collecting, processing, and storing genetic material, including sperm, embryos, egg cells, and ovarian tissue. This research covers a wide range of species, from cattle and chickens to sheep, bees, and aquatic species. A significant part of the work will involve developing strategies for female cryoconservation, which is crucial for the long-term preservation of animal genetic resources. The position is based within Animal Breeding and Genomics at Wageningen Livestock Research, offering an interdisciplinary research environment.
