Administrative Responsibilities:
As Chair of the Department of Animal Sciences, Dr. Kinder’s primary responsibilities are to: 1) provide vision and leadership; 2) administer, coordinate, identify and foster excellence Animal Sciences academic programs, extension education and research; 3) promote excellence in undergraduate and graduate programs; 4) establish, in association with faculty, Departmental directions, goals, programs, and budget priorities; and 5) provide fiscal management. Additional responsibilities include promotion, development and maintenance of effective relationships with livestock and food processing organizations, related agribusinesses, consumer, food safety and environmental groups; communication with, leadership of, and assistance in the professional growth of faculty, staff and students; coordination of programs with appropriate departments and/or disciplines within the College/University; advocacy for the Department with College/University administration and national and international professional organizations; and evaluation of faculty performance. Dr. Kinder has also focused on developing collaborative educational and research endeavors with research group’s world wide but particularly in the country of Australia with the Animal Welfare Science Centre (Melbourne Victoria), Beef CRC (Armidale New South Wales) and the CSIRO (Brisbane Queensland).
Research Interests:
Dr. Kinder’s research emphasis has been in the area of neuroendocrine regulation of puberty, the estrous cycle, and ovarian follicular and corpora lutea development in female cattle. In addition, he has published several recent papers focusing on the hypothalamic, pituitary, testicular endocrine axis in bulls. Dr. Kinder has been Co-Editor-in-Chief of Animal Reproduction Science for over 10 years.
