Forest ecology

The Lines Research Group at the University of Cambridge is recruiting PhD students to work on forestry topics using remote sensing, data science, and artificial intelligence. The group focuses on highly computational approaches in forest ecology, combining advanced data analysis with field techniques. Applicants should have strong quantitative and computational skills, and a clear interest in ecological research based in forest ecosystems. The group is led by Associate Professor Emily Lines, who encourages prospective students to reach out informally before applying. Funding is available through competitive schemes such as Cambridge Trusts, GATES, and structured PhD programmes, covering stipend, tuition, and research costs. The application deadline for funding is December 2, 2024, and candidates should prepare their CV and research proposal in advance. The group values a collaborative and respectful research culture, and applicants are advised to read the group’s code of conduct and application advice.
