Subject area:
Food selection by large free-ranging herbivores shapes the distribution of both plants and animals across natural and production ecosystems. To effectively manage these systems requires an understanding of how interactions between plants and herbivores influence natural resources and vice versa. In Sweden, the consequence of such interactions is of high societal interest. The Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre therefore announces a Senior Lecturer position in forest ecology focusing on plant-herbivore interactions. The complexity of the southern Swedish situation requires a breadth of expertise, as the region supports multiple mammalian herbivore species, high human population densities, extensive production forests and substantial browsing-related concerns. We are searching for an outstanding candidate with a demonstrated ability to work with these issues across the contexts of silviculture, biodiversity conservation, nutritional ecology, veterinary science and the social sciences.
