Deadline for application: May 12th, 2020
We are looking for highly motivated candidates interested in developing, evaluating, and applying mechanistic models and stochastic methods for the assessment of the interactions between plants, soils and the environment in managed ecosystems.
One position will focus on boreal forests, with the aim of identifying the key mechanisms behind their response to climate change; and evaluating management solutions to prepare boreal forests and forestry for future climates.
The other position aims at examining the prospects of perennial grain crops for sustainable food production.
In both cases, we are looking for candidates with strong quantitative skills. Applicants should have a PhD in quantitative disciplines, such as plant biology, ecology, hydrology, earth and environmental sciences, soil sciences, agronomy, applied mathematics or physics, or related fields. Previous experience in model development is required.
The starting date is by agreement.
To apply, please follow the instructions at the bottom of the call for applications (https://bit.ly/3aNT4PX).
