SLU is one of the world's highest ranked universities in several subject areas and is ranked #1 in forestry (CWUR). At our centre we carry out research, teaching and dissemination of scientific findings with direct application to the sustainable management of forests. We are a multidisciplinary institution, with global relevance but specialized expertise on issues related to the dynamic forest landscapes of southern Sweden. We closely collaborate with multiple stakeholders and conduct applied research in silviculture, forest ecology, pathology, policy and planning. We teach bachelor, Masters and PhD level courses addressing all of these subject areas.
Duties:
In the 2-year project the postdoctor will primarily be working with analysis of forest experiments designed for evaluation of growth and yield in mixed forest. In addition, growth models for mixed species stands will be validated and development of mixtures will be studied in simulations on stand- and landscape level. The project is a collaboration between Finnish and Swedish researchers and aims to expand the knowledge in silviculture of mixed forest under Fennoscandinavian conditions. The main objectives with the joint research project is to improve our understanding of dynamics and management alternatives of mixed forests and to bring this understanding into practice with the help of advanced decision support tools.
Qualifications:
As postdoctoral appointments are career-developing positions for junior researchers, we are primarily looking for candidates with a doctoral degree that is preferably 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 or a related discipline but with main focus on understanding tree and stand growth and development. Other required qualifications are 1) proven research productivity with publications in the peer-reviewed literature, 2) experience of forestry analytics, using preferably R programming language and/or GIS softwares, 3) good communications skills with fluency in written English. Proven experience in working with forest decision systems, such as Heureka or Motti, is a merit.
