The position will be based at the department of Forest Ecology and Management, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Umeå. The department has 82 employees of which 12 are professors. Our mission is to advance the understanding of forest ecosystem processes and to progress the principles of forest ecosystem management. For more information,
http://www.slu.se/en/departments/forest-ecology-management/The position is linked to the SLU platform for cropping systems, which is also represented at campus Alnarp and Ultuna, and an active participation in the platform development are required. The platform has an ongoing project working with the landscape matrix of cropping and forest systems, engaging several post docs and assistant lecturers (SLU biträdande lektorat). The post doc will primarily work within this platform project-under the supervision of Professor Tomas Lundmark and Dr Emma Holmström. The SLU platform for cropping systems is aiming for strengthening SLU's profile and development of productive and sustainable systems in horticulture, agriculture and forestry. The platform enables systematic and interdisciplinary research between SLU researchers from different faculties and a diverse background of cropping systems.
https://www.slu.se/en/Collaborative-Centres-and-Projects/platform-crop-production-systems/Duties:
In the 2 year project the postdoc will primarily be working with analysis of temporal and spatial forest and landscape change. By mapping the forest structure and forestry systems the project will model the past and future drivers, such as wood supply demand and owner structures, risk assessments and adaptation to site and climate. In collaboration with the project group in the platform, synergetic and antagonistic land-uses and the resulting landscape mosaic will be processed for all primary production components.
Qualifications:
As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is preferrably within 3 years of the application date (parental leave disclosed from the accounted time period). The PhD degree should be in silviculture or related forest sciences, biostatistics, quantitative ecology, or a related discipline. Other required qualifications are 1) proven research productivity with publications in the peer-reviewed literature, 2) experience of spatial and forestry analytics, using preferably R programming language and GIS software, 3) good communications skills with fluency in English. Although not required it is also a merit to show good abilities in collaborations and to work independently.
