Postdoctoral Position in Forest Growth & Yield Modeling at University of Alberta

The Forest Growth & Yield Lab at the University of Alberta is offering a postdoctoral position focused on developing advanced forest simulation models for the western Boreal and Rocky Mountain forest regions. This ambitious 8-year project is supported by extensive partnerships with the forest industry and the governments of Alberta and Saskatchewan, providing a collaborative and impactful research environment. The position is based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and is renewable annually for up to three years, with a competitive stipend. Applicants should hold a PhD in forestry, forest science, or a closely related field, awarded within the past five years. Essential qualifications include prior research in forest growth and yield or quantitative silviculture, proficiency in data science using R, SAS, Python, or SQL, and experience with geospatial technologies. A strong interest in remote sensing and a track record of publication in peer-reviewed literature are highly valued. The lab's research integrates forest modeling, data science, and environmental science, making it ideal for candidates interested in forest ecosystems, simulation, and quantitative analysis. Applications are accepted exclusively through the University of Alberta's official portal. Review of applications will begin in March.
