Paid conference attendance


We have a 3-year, full-time funded PhD position in our Breeding Low-Methane Cattle research programme which we run in conjunction with CRV.


We are looking for someone eligible to enrol for a PhD programme in New Zealand and able to start in 2023 or early 2024.


Ideally, we are looking for someone to work on aspects of genetic evaluation of methane and feed intake, but we are also interested in hearing other research ideas you would like to explore.

There are opportunities to plan and undertake animal trials if that is of interest.

One aspect we are particularly interested in is understanding how to integrate feed intake data and the pattern of feed intake into methane phenotypes.

The Breeding Low-Methane Cattle programme is now into its third year.

We are collecting measurements of methane emissions and feed intake from young dairy sires from the LIC and CRV breeding programmes.

We also have rumen fluid samples from these same bulls. By the end of 2023 we will have measurements from between 800 and 900 young dairy bulls.

There is a further research programme that is underway to measure methane emissions and feed intake on the daughters of the highest and lowest emitters of the bulls that have been through our measurement facility.


How to apply

  • A detailed CV that highlights academic qualifications, work experience, and any publications.
  • A letter outlining research interests specifically related to the proposed research topic
  • Contact details for 3 referees
  • Academic certificates verifying Universitylevel qualifications
