Two postdoc positions: modelling/projecting biodiversity-forest-climate dynamics

Dear all,

I would much appreciate help to spread these two adds for postdoc positions in my group.

 

Note that applicants must not have a PhD at the time of application, but at the time of the decision of employment:

“PhD in… . The degree needs to be obtained by the time of the decision of employment.”

 

Thanks for your help,
Tord

 

Postdoc 1: Biodiversity modelling and scenario analysis

Depending on your expertise, you will develop models for the spatial distribution or dynamics of forest species, or make projections using available models for biodiversity and ecosystem services assuming scenarios. We study how scenarios of socio-economic policy or development, climate change or forest management on different spatial scales (global, EU, landscape) may affect the future delivery of ecosystem services, biodiversity and human wellbeing. We also investigate conflicts and synergies between these, e.g. based on optimization. The work is funded by The Swedish Research Council and the BiodivERsA project BioESSHealth (www.biodiversa.org/1614).

Postdoc 2: Future forest use, biodiversity & climate

You will optimize forestry, conservation and wood use to reach objectives on future forest use, biodiversity, ecosystem services and climate. Available are tools/models to simulate future forest use, species distribution and richness, ecosystem services, and climate, the latter based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). An integrated system is built that will allow identifying/optimizing synergies, trade-offs and compromises in the use of forests to reach objectives for the future. Stakeholders will participate in formulating the objectives, which will account for global, EU and national strategies and policies. The work is mainly funded by the starting ForestValue project SustMultBiomass (https://forestvalue.org/funded-projects-jc-2021/), but will also be linked to other the ongoing projects with partners across Europe.
