Pig Behaviour and Cognition Internship
Institute of Genetics and Animal Biotechnology, Poland
We are looking for a motivated student who would like to learn about pig behaviour, welfare or cognition at our high welfare research farm. We will be conducting a research trial to study cognition of pigs from two contrasting breeds, kept in either barren or enriched environments. Cognition will be assessed through daily spatial holeboard tasks, where the pig needs to find a food reward and remember where it is located. The trial will be conducted from July to December. We ideally look for someone who can join us in July and August 2025 for a summer internship. A BSc/MSc project is also possible. No prior experience is needed. The research institute is just south of Warsaw in Poland. The pigs are located at the campus, and student accommodation at the campus is available. If you are interested, contact Irene Camerlink or Coralie Galvagnon |
