1 PhD student in the research education subject: Ecosystem Ecology
Aboveground-Belowground Linkages in Northern Boreal and Subarctic Ecosystems
A new Ph.D. studentship is available which is fully financed (including salary and benefits) for a period of four years. The start date for the position is January 1 2012, although there is some flexibility around this date. The project will focus on interactions among plant communities, soil organisms and ecosystem processes across major environmental gradients in natural tundra and forest ecosystems in northern Sweden. Work will be performed in two study systems: (1) Gradients of elevation (and thus temperature) across each of two widely contrasting vegetation types in subarctic tundra in the Abisko region; and (2) Gradients of succession along a fire-driven chronoseqence in boreal forest. The project will include both field work over the summer and autumn months, and corresponding laboratory work. While it is our intention that the student works on these two systems, the scope of the project work is deliberately broad, and is adaptable to suit the specific interests of the student that is appointed. This project would be ideal for anyone intending to specialize in community or ecosystem ecology with a focus on natural ecosystems. The supervisors of this studentship are Professor David Wardle and Marie-Charlotte Nilsson (SLU), and Assoc. Prof. Reiner Giesler and Dr. Ellen Dorrepaal (Umeå University).
Qualifications
Requirements include a M.Sc. (or comparable degree) in Ecology or a related discipline, with an emphasis on plants and/or soils. Having a degree (minimum 180 ECTS) with similar emphasis is also acceptable. Applications from both Sweden and elsewhere in the world are welcome.
