The Department of Animal Science at Cornell University provides a limited number of graduate assistantships each year. The 12-month stipend is projected to be $27,613 for 2008-2009. Health insurance and tuition and fees are provided at no cost to students awarded assistantships.

We are particularly interested in attracting students who would like to work with sheep on a genomics, nutrition, health, or a management related project.
