Use biometric data to simultaneously improve detection performances and welfare in police dogs.
As part of a collaborative project between Utrecht University (UU) and the Dutch Police, we seek an enthusiastic candidate for a PhD position within the field of biometric data use to simultaneously improve detection performances and welfare in police dogs. The position is within the project 'Optimizing the fulfilment of individual behavioural needs of detection dogs’.
A more efficient usage of a detection dog’s functional qualities and behavioural needs, thus taking welfare and performance into consideration, will add to community safety as provided by the Dutch police.
The goals of the PhD-project are threefold:
We offer a position (1.0 FTE), initially for a period of four years. The gross salary - depending on previous qualifications and experience - ranges between €2,395 and €3,061 (scale P according to the Collective Labour Agreement Dutch Universities) per month for a full-time employment. Salaries are supplemented with a holiday bonus of 8% and a year-end bonus of 8.3% per year. In addition, Utrecht University offers excellent secondary conditions, including an attractive retirement scheme, (partly paid) parental leave and flexible employment conditions (multiple choice model). More information about working at Utrecht University can be found here.
