Professor in the University of Maryland Department of Poultry Science.

Jull graduated from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1908. He received a Master's of Science from McGill University in 1914 and a Ph. D. from the University of Wisconsin in 1921. Prior to becoming a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1935, Jull worked at the West Virginia Experiment Station in Morgantown as a poultry assistant from 1908 until 1909. After that, he became the Poultry Commissioner in the British Columbia Department of Agriculture in Victoria, a position he held from 1909 until 1911, when he accepted a position as Head of the Poultry Department in the McGill University MacDonald College in Montreal, Canada. During the same period he also taught poultry courses at the University of Vermont and did poultry extension work in the state during two summers. He remained at McGill University from 1912 until 1923, when he moved to the United States to become the Senior Poultry Husbandman of Production Research for the United States Department of Agriculture. During his time as senior husbandman, he led work on quality improvement of poultry, egg, and meat production and assisted in the breeding of the world famous Beltsville White turkey, a smaller, "family-size" turkey. He left that position in 1936 to head the Department of Poultry Science at the University of Maryland, where he remained until retirement in 1956. In his position at Maryland, he led efforts to expand the departmental facilities, served as chairman of the University of Maryland Poultry Committee from 1936 until 1956, and conducted research on raising a fast-feathering bird, which would be easier to fatten and therefore less costly. In 1952, he won the National Poultry Science Teacher Award from the Poultry Science Association. In honor of Jull, the University of Maryland renamed the Poultry Building Jull Hall in 1954.
