Interested in Pursuing Graduate Education?

November 15, 2017 — 

The University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine has available two Fellowships, the Carlos Pijoan Fellowship and the Leman Fellowship to pursue a MS or PhD in the areas of swine production and medicine. Students will be exposed to a science-based interdisciplinary approach to problem solving encompassing the areas of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, population health, swine productivity and disease prevention, control and elimination, and will join a vibrant and passionate group of faculty and graduate students devoted to tackle significant problems that impact swine and human health. Throughout the course of study, students will spend significant time in the field, interacting with industry leaders, building networks, and gaining insights into the issues challenging the global swine industry. The combination of graduate training and exposure to the industry will position students to assume leadership roles in animal agriculture in the areas of teaching, research, and service. Prior fellows have made significant contributions to science and the swine industry with research-based projects in the areas of disease control and elimination for PRRSV, influenza, Mycoplasma and Lawsonia.

Interested candidates must apply to the University of Minnesota VMED graduate program at http://www.vetmed.umn.edu/education-training/ms-and-phd-programs/ms-and-phd-veterinary-medicine by December 1, and submit a letter of intent for the fellowships and copy of CV to Montse Torremorell (torr0033@umn.edu)
