Work With CDCB

Achieving progress requires a commitment of time, energy and expertise, and that dedication is exemplified in the CDCB team.

CDCB has strategically expanded its team to satisfy the growing demand for services and products that benefit dairy producers worldwide. Opportunities continue to grow – to leverage genomic technologies, develop new data pipelines, and continue improving dairy production. The CDCB team, along with research partners at USDA AGIL, have unparalled experience and expertise to maximize these opportunities.

Support functions – office management, human resources, information technology, public relations, accounting and legal – are performed in-house or by external consultants, so CDCB operates as efficiently as possible.

CDCB Summer Interns

Since 2016, CDCB has offered summer internships to junior, senior, or graduate students with a major in animal or dairy science, supporting the development of future genetic leaders. The work includes learning and applying research techniques to analyze dairy cattle genetics and management data and benefit the missions of CDCB and USDA’s Animal Genomics and Improvement Laboratory (AGIL). These organizations have a history of performing quality research and reporting their findings in scientific journals and farm press. Interns work on location in Bowie, Maryland.
