The student will be based in the College of Veterinary Medicine and work with the other disciplines as needed. The student will be trained in advanced quantitative methods and epidemiology. The exact thesis topic may relate to the machine learning projects, infectious diseases or food safety. The position may be a Masters or a PhD depending upon the students background and prior training.
