This part-time position as an unskilled experimental assistant at the Institute for Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Aarhus University, involves practical data collection within dairy cattle herds. The primary responsibilities include conducting Avoidance Distance Tests, a behavioral assessment in dairy cattle, requiring prior experience with this specific test. The role demands reliable transportation, as the candidate must possess a valid category B driver's license and have access to a personal vehicle for travel to various herd locations. The position is limited to 8 hours per week over a 6-month period, emphasizing consistent and accurate fieldwork rather than formal educational qualifications. The job requires practical competencies in animal handling and data recording within a research context, adherence to safety and animal welfare standards, and the ability to work independently in farm environments. Familiarity with dairy cattle behavior and comfort working outdoors in agricultural settings are implicit requirements. The role is governed by collective agreements relevant to the sector, ensuring compliance with labor standards. Overall, this position suits candidates with hands-on experience in livestock behavioral testing, dependable transportation means, and a commitment to supporting scientific research through meticulous data collection in dairy farming operations.
