About the position
SLU is seeking a highly motivated person for a position as research assistant. The work consists mainly of data collection and other field work in the forest and of subsequent data handling to prepare data for research. Other research related work will occur, for example in SLU's nursery.
The work will be carried out with SLU's campus at Alnarp as a base. The field work will be conducted mainly in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Data collected will contribute to various projects focusing mainly on the silviculture of mixed broadleaved forest, but other work and other forest types may be involved.
Some of the time, the research assistant will be working in a team with other staff. The research assistant will work in different projects and will refer to the relevant project leaders.
Your profile
The applicant should hold an MSc degree (or equivalent) in forestry, forest science or a closely related field. The ideal candidate should be familiar with the ecology and silviculture of temperate mixed forests in Europe, forest inventory, data analyses, and research carried out based on long-term forest experiments.
The applicant should have excellent interpersonal skills, ability to work independently and in teams, experience with communication and cooperation, proficiency in written and spoken English, and good organisational skills. The applicant should hold a valid driving license (B).
Prior experience in forest field work is considered an asset. Working knowledge of Swedish is considered an advantage.
