Postdoctoral Fellowship in Geomatics and Forest Ecology at UQAC (Canada)
UQAC – Université du Quebec à Chicoutimi. We are recruiting a post-doctoral research scientist for the spatial characterization of tree growth by the integration of spatially-continuous variables. The selected candidate will be based at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (QC, Canada) and will participate to a project involving academic and governmental scientists aiming to (1) describe the spatial pattern of tree phenology and radial growth across the boreal forest of Quebec, (2) identify and quantify the effect of climate on these patterns, (3) construct spatially explicit models of radial growth. Within this scope, opportunities exist to develop and explore new challenging research questions of interest. This position offers an exciting opportunity to lead a research activity, demonstrate your quantitative skill, build international collaborations, and publish in high impact journals.

Position for: FG IV – Project Officer in the field of forest modelling
As the science and knowledge service of the Commission, the mission of DG Joint Research Centre is to support EU policies with independent evidence throughout the whole policy cycle. The vacancy is within the Bio-Economy Unit, (located in Ispra, Italy), which provides scientific support to EU policies related to the bio-economy such as the sustainable production as well as the use of biological resources and the conversion to value added products, such as food, feed, bioenergy and bio-based products. We are looking for a researcher to contribute to the further development and implementation of the forest growth models as part of the wider forest sector modelling suite of the Unit, in the context of the wider bio-economy and environmental threats (e.g. climate change).
