Postdoctoral fellow

We are actively seeking a postdoctoral fellow in modeling forest growth.
The fellow will be integrated into the NSERC strategic network on forest management for
value-added products (http://www.forvaluenet-foretvaleur.ca/).
The person will have the opportunity to collaborate with internationally known
researchers spread across Canada. The fellow will be responsible for the
management of the growth model within Theme 1 of the Network.
More specifically, the person will work on adapting the process-based model
to Canadian boreal species. The fellow will also have to explicitly include
in the model some aspects of site richness. A 38 000$/year scholarship is
available, for a 2-year period. The desired qualifications are a Ph.D. in
forest sciences, biology, computer sciences or mathematics with very good
understanding in statics and of the processes which regulate tree growth.
Experiences in programming in general and specifically in Capsis would be an
advantage.
