The candidate is expected to have training and experience in animal science, data analytics, artificial intelligence, and computer vision and a strong publication history. The candidate will translate collected data derived from sow farms with annotated datasets to determine the changes in the thermal regulatory responses of sows in open gestation pens during 3 seasons. The candidate is expected to publish research results in high-impact journals, present findings at producer and science conferences, and write grants based on the research results. One of the key goals of the project is to foster collaboration and attract contributions from the computer vision community and farmers through the release of video-based datasets. Your involvement is crucial to the success of this initiative. While in this role, you will: * Work directly with Michigan swine producers and extension specialists to develop a set of best practices for evaluating sow comfort. This will include collaboration with media specialists to develop video tutorials and graphics that can be implemented into employee training protocols. * Mentor undergraduate students hired to assist in video annotation. * Work with MSU and UNL advisors to publish findings, write proposals that build on the findings of this grant, and present materials at the swine industry conference in February 2026 and at science conferences.
