Professor of One Health with focus on food production
ArbetsbeskrivningFaculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science Applied Animal Science and Welfare One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimize the health of people, animals, and ecosystems. It recognizes that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment are closely linked and interdependent. By linking humans, animals, and the environment, One Health can help to address the full spectrum of disease control – from prevention to detection, preparedness, response, and management – and contribute to global health security. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science (VH Faculty) hosts SLU Future One Health, a strategic platform for the whole university for interdisciplinary research, education, and collaboration for good health and welfare for animals and humans in sustainable ecosystems.
As a complement to SLU Future One Health, the VH faculty will establish a One Health Hub linked to animal husbandry. The Hub will have three core areas with One Health Professors: 1) comparative medicine: similarities and differences in biology between domestic animals and humans; 2) antimicrobial resistance: keeping antimicrobials effective; and 3) healthy food-producing animals in circular systems. At the Department of Applied Animal Science and Welfare, our goal is to promote good animal husbandry and animal welfare as well as sustainable food production with high product quality. We do this through research and education on animals with a focus on feed and nutrition, management and the environment, ethology, animal ethics, and animal welfare.
Subject description
The subject is One Health with a focus on food production from animals (such as cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, and farmed fish) in circular systems. The subject is multidisciplinary but with a basis in animal science and veterinary medicine and focuses on how interactions between food-producing animals, humans, and the environment (including climate and biodiversity) can lead to increased sustainability.
Duties
- Develop and lead internationally successful research;
- Develop, lead, and participate in teaching at first, second, and third cycle level;
- Mainly teach in sustainable animal production, but also in other programmes and courses at undergraduate, advanced, and doctoral level where the subject is included;
- Develop and maintain national and international networks with academia, the relevant public authorities, industry, organisations, and society at large;
- Collaborate with other SLU research teams to strengthen interdisciplinary One Health activities at the university;
- Apply for external research funding from both national and international sources;
- Supervise doctoral students;
- Contribute to the strategic development of the department, faculty, and SLU;
- Communicate research findings and other relevant information to society at large;
- Perform administrative duties within the department, faculty, and university;
- Be able to use Swedish as the working language within four years.
The department uses Swedish and English in parallel. The professor should be able to perform the majority of their tasks in English. However, as a public authority, the university has Swedish as its main language according to the requirements of the Language Act, and the professor must be able to use Swedish as their working language within four years of beginning the position. The department will provide support with language learning.
