PhD student in forest pathology: biotic risks to birch
Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre
Third-cycle subject area
Forest management
Description of the doctoral project
Birch is becoming increasingly important in Swedish forestry as a complement to conifers and as part of climate-adapted forest diversification. Its wider use, however, requires better knowledge of the interacting biotic and abiotic threats that affect young plantations and older stands.
This four-year doctoral project will investigate biotic risks associated with birch and builds on research initiated during the first phase of Trees For Me. It combines two connected research tracks: damage in newly planted birch stands, including browsing, insects, pathogens and abiotic stress; and an emerging decline syndrome in older birch stands where trees show severe crown deterioration or mortality and the causal agents remain unresolved.
The project is based at the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre in Alnarp and is part of Trees For Me, a Centre of Excellence focused on fast-growing broadleaved trees for sustainable forests, materials and energy. The doctoral student will join a multidisciplinary forest research environment and work with academic, public- and private-sector partners. The project will combine field experiments and forest health surveys with disease and damage assessment, fungal isolation and culturing, molecular diagnostics, and ecological and statistical data analysis.
About the position
The doctoral student will plan and carry out field and laboratory studies, analyse and interpret data, and communicate results through scientific articles, conference presentations and engagement with project partners. The work will involve substantial field activities at sites across Sweden as well as laboratory work in Alnarp. The doctoral student will complete relevant doctoral courses and is expected to develop increasing independence in research planning, implementation and scientific writing.
Requirements
To meet the general entry requirements you must have been awarded a second-cycle (Master's) qualification, satisfied the requirements for courses comprising at least 240 credits of which at least 60 credits were awarded in the second-cycle, or acquired substantially equivalent knowledge in some other way in Sweden or abroad (Higher Education Ordinance 1993:100, Chapter 7, Section 39).
Specific entry requirements for the third-cycle courses and study programme in Forest management are at least 90 credits in subjects relevant to forest management, of which at least 30 credits must be at second-cycle level.
You must also meet the equivalent English language requirements as those necessary for the Swedish upper-secondary qualification Engelska B/6.
Your profile
We are looking for a motivated candidate with a strong interest in forest health and interactions among trees, damaging organisms and environmental stress.
The following are required:
A Master's degree in forest pathology, biology, forest science or another relevant subject that fulfils the specific entry requirements in Forest management.
The ability to communicate scientific work clearly in spoken and written English.
The ability to work both independently and collaboratively in field, laboratory and multidisciplinary research settings.
The following are desirable:
Experience of fieldwork, particularly forest health inventories or field experiments.
Experience of fungal isolation or other microbiological methods, molecular laboratory methods, or DNA-based analyses.
Experience of ecological or statistical data analysis.
Knowledge of Swedish or another Scandinavian language, or a willingness to learn Swedish.
A valid driving licence.
Personal qualities, including curiosity, initiative, reliability, organisational ability and willingness to collaborate, will be important in the selection process.
