www.slu.seSLU invites applications for the following 2-year post-doctoral position in Ecosystem Ecology, at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, at Umeå, Sweden. The position is fully financed, including salary and benefits. The intended start date is October 1 2010, although there is some flexibility around this.
The project will focus mainly on field locations in subalpine forested areas of western Sweden, which includes some areas that have historically been impacted by indigenous Sami inhabitants for more than 500 years (but which are no longer inhabited) and other areas that have never been impacted by Sami people. The main project that the postdoctoral researcher will work on involves exploring how historical habitation and land use in these mountains by Sami (in areas that are often currently presumed to be ‘natural’) may have long term effects on ecosystem functioning both aboveground and belowground that are still apparent in the present day landscape. In addition to this work, the researcher will have opportunities to perform some fieldwork on studies exploring aboveground-belowground linkages in New Zealand during the northern winter.
Qualifications for this position is a PhD in Biology, Ecology or Forestry, preferably completed in the previous three years.
SLU is an Equal Opportunity Employer. The university applies individual salary negotiations.
