PhD student in silviculture of planted 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 management methods and site selection to support healthy, productive planted stands.
This four-year doctoral project will investigate the silviculture of planted birch and builds on research initiated during the first phase of Trees For Me. The project will examine growth and stand management, including pre-commercial thinning, commercial thinning and fertilisation, as well as tree-species comparisons that can improve guidance on site selection.
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. Methods will include field experiments and forest inventories, measurements of stand development and tree growth, spatial data and GIS, and statistical analysis in R.
About the position
The doctoral student will plan and carry out field experiments and inventories, manage and analyse spatial and experimental 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, with office work based 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 silviculture, planted forests and the management of broadleaved tree species.
The following are required:
A Master's degree in forest science, forestry 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 and multidisciplinary research settings.
The following are desirable:
Experience of fieldwork, particularly forest inventories or field experiments.
Experience of GIS and spatial data analysis.
Experience of statistical analysis in R.
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.
