CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sensing Animal Welfare
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
CSIRO’s vision is to harness the ability of sensor technologies to classify and interpret animal behaviour in order to deliver an automated animal welfare assessment system. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be required to identify sensor technologies able to monitor animal welfare at critical stages of the animal supply chain, and design experiments to investigate the accuracy and suitability of these approaches in a commercial setting. The developed technology will have a direct application area in Agrifood sustainability assurance, allowing for new quantitative measures of livestock welfare to be integrated, and enabling automated benchmarking for welfare assurance.
