Jennie Elizabeth Pryce (born 1972) is a quantitative geneticist based in Melbourne, Australia.
In 1994 she received BSc (Hons) 1st class from the University of Edinburgh and a PhD in 1998 also from the University of Edinburgh in "The Genetics of Health and Fertility of Dairy Cattle" under the supervision of Professors Geoff Simm, William G. Hill, Robin Thompson and Roel Veerkamp.
In 2001 she moved to New Zealand to take up a position with the breeding company Livestock Improvement Corporation.
Since 2008 Pryce has lived and worked in Melbourne, Australia, where her main areas of research interest are genetic improvement of functional traits (especially dairy cow fertility and feed conversion efficiency), optimising breeding scheme design under genomic selection and development of dairy selection indices.
[4][5][6] Pryce is a member of the International Committee for Animal Recording’s Functional Traits Working Group and the Feed and Gas Working group[7] and was also section editor of Journal of Dairy Science, a member of the Functional Traits working group of the International Committee on Animal Recording (ICAR) and a member of the scientific committee of the World Congress on Genetics Applied to Livestock Production.
