Funded MSc Opportunities in Forest Ecology, Silviculture, and Ecophysiology Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue in Canada

Emilie Ellis at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a fully funded PhD/doctoral researcher for the new THERMOTRAIT project in butterfly ecology and climate change . This integrative, cross-scale project asks a central question in global change ecology : when butterflies change under climate warming, do those changes help populations persist, or do they reveal growing vulnerability? The doctoral researcher will connect changes in individual traits such as body size and wing pigmentation with...

PhD opening in Forest Ecology and Management at the University of Alabama , within the Forest Dynamics Lab . The project focuses on forest disturbance , stand development , forest stand dynamics , disturbance ecology , and the development/refinement of silvicultural systems based on natural disturbance patterns. The lab’s mission is to provide science-based solutions to pressing forest management issues. The successful student will work on an applied forest ecology project with strong relevance ...

Open postdoctoral position in forest ecology , biodiversity , and large-scale data analysis focused on long-term forest research and the diversity and stability of European forests . The post is shared by CUSO biology courses and points to a team recruiting for a 2-year postdoc with a possible extension depending on funding. The work appears to be based in Switzerland , with the University of Bern referenced in the source URL and post context. Ideal candidates should be interested in forest ecos...

MSc opportunity at the University of Alberta in Canada, focused on boreal forests , wildfire , canopy type , understory plants , and ecosystem nitrogen balance . The project builds on recent work quantifying links between fire regime, canopy type, and nitrogen dynamics, and the next phase will examine how understory plants contribute to nitrogen accumulation in soils of aspen forests following wildfire. The student will be co-supervised by Justine Karst and Stefan Hupperts, and the post says the...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, within the MESH Lab in the Faculty of Forestry. The project focuses on quantifying the impacts of forest harvesting and retention on watershed-scale ecosystem services , with related work in ecosystem service modelling , land use change modelling , and freshwater biodiversity . The post highlights a nature-based solutions project involving Tree Canada, ECCC, NRCan, and Ontario MNR, and mentions tools and methods s...
