2 dagen geleden


Utrecht Oost, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

Do you want to drive innovation in sustainable livestock farming? Utrecht University is seeking a full professor in Sustainable Ruminant Health to lead research on animal health and welfare in evolving production systems. Join our team to shape the future of sustainable ruminant health with access to state-of-the-art facilities and strong academic and industry partnerships.

**Your job**:
Livestock farming is in transition in the Netherlands, in Europe and worldwide. This transition is the result of various developments: increasing societal attention for the environmental effects of livestock farming and for animal welfare, more focus on preventive health and holistic systems thinking and rapid technological innovation.

In this transition, animal health is of crucial importance. Consequently, there is a need for skilled veterinarians who understand the position of the animal in the changing production systems and for research to support the livestock sector both in the Netherlands and globally with answers to questions related to animal health and welfare that result from the changes described above.

In this fascinating but also challenging landscape, we have a position for a full professor in Sustainable Ruminant Health. This chair leads the Sustainable Ruminant Health (SRH) team, which is embedded in the Population Health Sciences department of the faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The Chair holder is responsible for research and societal impact in the field of ruminant health.

SRH is committed to sustainability of ruminant health in a broad sense, by working on practical research questions related to ruminant health within the transition of livestock farming. The team has strong ties with the University Farm Animal Practice, one of the the largest ruminant veterinary practice in the Netherlands, and other academic and industrial partners. Within the department, there is access to excellent facilities, including a large and modern ruminant clinic, research stables, an organic dairy farm and a sheep farm, and state of the art laboratory facilities.

**Your qualities**:
Additionally, you:

- are a veterinarian with experience in veterinary practice;
- hold a PhD and preferably an ECBHM diplomacy;
- have a progressive vision on livestock farming, recognise the need for change, and advocate for sustainable agriculture;
- are able to bridge the gap between science and veterinary practice;
- have a proven ability to secure research funding;
- are proficient in Dutch or willing to learn the language.

**Our offer**:
We offer:

- an employment contract for 12 months with the prospect of a permanent employment contract;
- a working week of 32 to 38 hours and a gross monthly salary between €6,894 and €10,038 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale H2 under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.

In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities of its own for employees. This includes schemes facilitating professional development, leave schemes and schemes for sports and cultural activities, as well as discounts on software and other IT products. We also offer access to additional employee benefits through our Terms of Employment Options Model. In this way, we encourage our employees to continue to invest in their growth.
