PhD in Forest Modeling Complexity
We are looking for a motivated PhD student to work on a modeling project that investigates the potential tradeoffs between managing forests for efficient provision of goods and services and adaptability in relation to global change factors and in the context of complex adaptive system theory. The project will be coordinated between the University of Quebec a Montreal (UQAM), Oregon State University, and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Umeå, Sweden; with the student being based at the UQAM, but travelling among the three universities. Required qualifications include a basic training in forestry, forest ecology, and forest economic and a strong background in quantitative sciences and modeling. To apply or for further information, send a letter of interest outlining your suitability and motivation, a CV, and a list of references to Klaus Puettmann (<mailto:klaus.puettm...@oregonstate.edu>klaus.puettm...@oregonstate.edu), Christian Messier (messier.christ...@uqam.ca) or Jon Moen (jon.m...@emg.umu.se). The candidates acceptance will depend upon successfully obtaining a scholarship from the Forest Modeling Complexity program (http://www.fcm.uqam.ca/index.asp?lang=en).
