Post-Doctoral Research Position: Forest Dynamics and Dendroecology
Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral Position in
dendroecological analysis of woody debris dynamics at the Tree-Ring
Lab, Department of Geography, University of British Columbia,
Vancouver, BC, Canada (www.geog.ubc.ca/~daniels).
The successful candidate will be working primarily on the project
entitled "Dendroecological analysis of temporal dynamics of woody
debris in riparian and upland forests of the Foothills Model Forest,
Alberta, Canada". She or he will conduct field and lab work to
reconstruct stand dynamics and to analyze the temporal variation in
recruitment and decay of logs and snags in riparian forests and
adjacent upland forests. Research results will be integrated in to
conceptual and quantitative models to guide ecosystem-based forest management.
Candidates should have demonstrated expertise in quantitative data
base management and dendrochronology and have strong statistical
skills. A background in GIS and/or conceptual modelling would be an
asset. A completed (or imminent) Ph.D. in forest ecology,
biogeography, or a closely related field is required.
This 18-month position will begin in September 2008 at earliest and
by November 2008 at latest. Salary is approximately $40,000 CAD per
year, plus benefits.
To apply, please submit your letter of application including a
