[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD position on belowground plant responses to grazing and snow cover changes in boreal ecosystems

[Gesche Blume-Werry]

Dear colleagues,

I am looking for a PhD student working on belowground plant responses to 
grazing and snow cover changes in boreal ecosystems, and I hope you can 
help me spread this information to suitable candidates!

The aim of the project is to study and quantify how reindeer grazing and 
changes in snow cover influence plant growth and decomposition patterns 
above- and belowground. The holder of this position will investigate 
plant community composition, seasonal plant (root) growth, decomposition 
of plant material, root influences on carbon cycling, and how these 
change with altered winter conditions and reindeer grazing regimes in 
boreal forests and fens. Johan Olofsson (Umeå University) and Maria 
Väisänen (University of Oulu, Finland) will be co-supervisors for this 
position. More information on the position and Umeå University can be 
found via the link below.

The *deadline for application: March 31st*, 2022, and we welcome all 
applications!

Thanks for your help, and apologies for cross-postings.

Best wishes,
