Morley, who was educated Universities of Sydney (BVSc 1942), Iowa (PhD) and Melbourne (DScAg), worked as Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO Division of Plant Industry from 1956 to 1977. He was also a Senior Lecturer in Epidemiology and Animal Production at the University of Melbourne. Morely was a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE); the Australian Association of Animal Breeding and Genetics; the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists; the Australian Institute of Agricultural Science; and of the Australian Society for Animal Production. Together with Helen Newton Turner and Robert Bruce Macleay Dun, Frederick Morely led a team of CSIRO and State Agriculture Department scientists during the 1950s to apply new techniques of animal breeding to the Australian Merino. These techniques depended on first determining what characteristics were required by the end consumers of wool, then investigating how they could best be measured, to what extent they were inherited, to what extent different characteristics were correlated and how they could be combined for selection. 1942 1942 Education - Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), University of Sydney c. 1945 c. 1945 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Iowa, USA 1956 1977 Career position - Chief Research Scientist at the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) Division of Plant Industry 1970 1970 Award - Australian Medal of Agricultural Science, Australian Institute of Agricultural Science 1970 1972 Career position - President, Australian Society of Animal Production 1979 1987 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences (FTS) 1981 1996 Award - Fellow, Australian Institute of Agricultural Science 1987 2001 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE) [Awarded by AATS 1979] 1996 1996 Award - Gilruth Prize for Meritorious Service to Veterinary Science, Australian Veterinary Association 1997 2001 Award - Fellow, Australian Institute of Agricultural Science and Technology Turner, Helen Alma Newton (1908 - 1995) Dun, Robert Bruce Macleay (1930 - ) Gilruth Prize for Meritorious Service to Veterinary Science, Australian Veterinary Association (1953 - )
