[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD position, Forest modelling, Lund University

[Thomas Pugh]

Dear all,

We have a new position for a PhD student working with us in the ecosystem modelling group at Lund University.

Doctoral student in european forest modelling

Europe’s forests are highly valued for wood production, conserving biodiversity and climate change mitigation, among many other services. They are also increasingly under stress from the changing climate. Working out how best to manage these forests in order to try and meet this multitude of demands that society places on them, whilst also adapting to climate stresses is an enormous challenge for the scientific community. In this PhD project you will help to meet that challenge. You will develop and apply forest modelling techniques using the LPJ-GUESS model to improve our understanding of the potential of different forest management and rewilding options across the continent. To achieve this, you will become part of a substantial team of researchers within Lund and across Europe. You will be part of two major new European projects with complimentary aims, FORWARDS and WildE, encompassing around 30 partner institutions from across Europe, allowing you to develop a wide-reaching network. Through these projects, your results will have an outlet to potentially influence European forest policy. You will also become part of the BECC research platform, a collaboration between Lund University and the University of Gothenburg, which brings together over 250 researchers working on the topics related to biodiversity and ecosystem services under a changing climate (www.becc.lu.se<http://www.becc.lu.se>).

The student will be an employee at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science, with all usual associated benefits.

For more information and to apply, please see this link. Deadline: 29th March 2023
