The successful candidate will conduct research to assess how the provision of heat abatement resources, management strategies, and varying weather conditions affect dairy cattle welfare. This project is part of a larger initiative focused on evaluating dairy producers' perceptions, attitudes, and adaptive responses to climate-related risks. Upon completion, this project has the potential to be expanded internationally. Tasks include refining and validating research methods, learning a range of laboratory and field techniques, coordinating and managing undergraduate students, performing data analyses, presenting research results at conferences, and publishing peer-reviewed work.
