PhD Opportunities in Data Science in Belgium

Ghent University is advertising a PhD / doctoral fellow position in forest ecology , remote sensing , terrestrial laser scanning , and microclimate buffering . The project is hosted by Q-ForestLab in the Department of Environment and focuses on linking high-temporal-resolution 3D forest structure with microclimate time series in tropical and temperate forest ecosystems. The research will examine how disturbances and forest dynamics shape forest structure over time, and how those structural chang...
