4-Year Doctoral Fellowship in Natural Resource Economics Applications are invited for 4-year doctoral fellowship with the University of British Columbia in Vanc...ouver, Canada, Department of Forest Resources Management, Faculty of Forestry in co-supervision with Natural Resources Canada-Canadian Forest Service. The Department is seeking a high achieving candidate with training and experience in natural resource economics (preference for forestry, and forest pests and diseases), economic modeling and economic impact analysis. Applicants must have a master’s degree in a related field, such as forestry, forest economics, natural resources management, etc. The world’s forests are facing unprecedented threats from invasive alien insects and pathogens that cause significant and irreversible damage to the environment, and threaten Canada’s capacity to provide ecosystem services and a long-term fibre supply. The project bioSAFE the work of the successful applicant will be part of is addressing this by developing powerful genomic-based tools to detect, identify, and eliminate those threats before they become established. Job Location: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Closing date: 2 January 2018, 12am (midnight) Pacific Standard Time (PST) Details:

PhD position: forest ecology, forestry A fully-funded Ph.D. position is available in Faculty of Forestry at the University of Toronto. The Ph.D. candidate will... examine whether and why increasing the functional diversity of tree species increases the productivity of forests. In particular, the candidate will use national forest inventory data and a trait-based analysis of competition to assess which functional groups of trees are more productive when grown together. Mixtures that may be more productive include needleleaf-broadleaf mixtures, evergreen-deciduous mixtures (including evergreen broadleaf species), and endomycorrhizal-ectomycorrhizal mixtures. Finally, the effect of mixing will be assessed across broad edaphic and climatic gradients in order to determine whether the benefit increases with decreasing productivity, as predicted by the stress gradient hypothesis. Qualifications: 1) sincere interest in forest ecology, 2) strong quantitative skills, 3) excellent oral and written communication skills in English. Applicants should send a letter of enquiry and curriculum vitae to John Caspersen; john.caspersen(at)utoronto.ca. Duty station: Toronto, Canada Closing date: Applications will be reviewed beginning January 15th, but the positions will remain open until a suitable candidate is selected. Details:
