Tönnersjöheden Experimental Forests, together with the Department of Ecology, is looking for field staff for a new exciting season with field-based forest research. New field trials will be established, and ongoing trials will be measured and managed. The fieldwork is mainly done in pairs or groups. The trial objectives span a range of forestry-related issues and locations in the country. We at Tönnersjöheden Experimental Forests are responsible for trials in the southern part of the country. The field trials deal with, among other things, research questions related to forest response to climate change, forest management, mixed forests, continuous cover forestry, soil carbon storage, water and nutrition as growth-regulating factors, and forest regeneration. The work is initiated by experienced researchers, enthusiastic postdocs and PhD/doctoral students. This is an opportunity for you who want to work with the future of forestry while you get an insight into the exciting world of research.

https://www.silvaboreal.com/Tasks:
The main task for the 2025 field season is to work on two newly established projects. The first is studying the forest ecosystem's response to drought. This involves repeated tree sampling and experiments with spruce bark beetles in controlled field trials during the field season. The second is establishing a long-term monitoring program for insects and fungi pests on trees. This work involves weekly inventories in the experimental forest.
In addition to the two main tasks, you will collaborate with the experimental forest staff on their regular fieldwork, including establishing field trials, collecting data, and managing ongoing experiment.
Qualifications:
We are looking for motivated people with a degree in plant biology, ecology, forest science or an ongoing education in these areas. You are expected to work thoroughly and methodically since some tasks require high precision. You are interested in forest management issues for practical use and the forest ecosystem as a whole. You must be able to work independently, have a good physique and enjoy being out in the field. You must also be a team player who can communicate, listen to and collaborate well with others. Personal qualities are highly valued.
Some projects involve long journeys with work and living in another location. You are, therefore, expected to be able to be away from home for multiple days. A driving license for passenger car (B) is a requirement. Experience in practical field work is meritorious.
