Fwd: PhD position open in the field of Climate Change Adaptation / Provenance Research / Forest Modelling at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Institute of Silviculture), Vienna
PhD-offer on climate change adaptation of forests and Douglas fir
The University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (Institute of Silviculture), has a PhD position open in the field of Climate Change Adaptation / Provenance Research / Forest Modelling. The position is for a 3 year full time researcher education, culminating in a PhD degree.
The PhD candidate will work within a cooperative research project on the quantitative genetic variation of Douglas fir provenances and their climate response revealed from a field trial series in Austria. The candidate will be based both at the Federal Research and Training Centre for Forest, Natural Hazards and Landscape (BFW, Vienna) and the Institute of Silviculture of the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU,Vienna), but will be required to carry out fieldwork in various parts of Austria together with staff of the BFW. The position also includes a 3-6 month stay at the University of British Columbia to carry out statistical analysis of the intraspecific climate response in the forest genetics group of Dr. Tongli WANG (Centre for Forest Conservation Genetics, UBC).
Required qualifications
· MSc or equivalent degree in Forestry, Environmental Sciences, Biology or Statistics
· Aptitude and interests should include Forestry, Genetics and Climate Change
· Applicants should have profound knowledge in Statistics (and the statistic language R) and interest to simulate forest dynamics with a forest ecosystem model
· Working knowledge of the German language would be an advantage, while proficiency in spoken and written English is an absolute requirement.
