Job description:
This position involves research towards the production economics of large but also small and medium-sized forest industry companies in a broader perspective. Moreover, it includes teaching and development of courses within both bachelor and master programs. Particular emphasis is placed on an integrated outlook covering the economic aspects of the whole production chain from forest raw material to market, including the recovery of the refined forest-based materials and products as well as the demand and supply of forest products. The central areas of research are the optimal use of round-wood, as well as optimal use of forest raw material from a production economy standpoint within the refinement industry.
The general starting-points for both research and teaching are the requirement of practical applicability within the forest industry as well as a cooperation and interaction with the forest industry in southern Sweden.
