Vacancy: doctoral student in forest ecology

Dear list members,

 

We are recruiting a PhD student to work with plant and pollinator phenology. Please forward to potential candidates.

 

Burst, bloom and buzz – Deciphering the interactions between trees and climate on forest ecosystem processes

 

We are looking for a person who, as part of a PhD, will conduct research on the impact of tree species composition, forest density and macro climate on forest understory climate and species communities. We focus especially on the impact of monospecific vs mixed forests. Our emphasis is on understory plants and their associated pollinators, two interdependent species groups with direct implications for forest ecosystem function and services. For this research we will use a macro-climatic gradient spanning 10 degrees Celsius in mean annual temperature, involving field-work from central to northern Europe. This research contributes to filling a major knowledge gap regarding the combined implications on ecosystem functionality of two of the most important drivers of global change, climate and land-use. The successful applicant will have excellent opportunities to work with our international collaborators.
