POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN ECOSYSTEM ECOLOGY

We invite applications for the following 2-year post-doctoral position in 
Ecosystem Ecology, at the Department of Forest Ecology and Management at 
the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, at Umeå, Sweden. The 
position is fully financed, including salary and benefits. The intended 
start date is October 1 2010, although there is some flexibility around 
this. 

The project will focus mainly on field locations in subalpine forested 
areas of western Sweden, which includes some areas that have historically 
been impacted by indigenous Sami inhabitants for more than 500 years (but 
which are no longer inhabited) and other areas that have never been 
impacted by Sami people. The main project that the postdoctoral researcher 
will work on involves exploring how historical habitation and land use in 
these mountains by Sami (in areas that are often currently presumed to 
be ‘natural’) may have long term effects on ecosystem functioning both 
aboveground and belowground that are still apparent in the present day 
landscape. In addition to this work, the researcher will have opportunities 
to perform some fieldwork on studies exploring aboveground-belowground 
linkages in New Zealand during the northern winter.

The required qualification for this position is a PhD in Biology, Ecology 
or Forestry, preferably completed in the previous three years. 

Applications for this position should include a curriculum vitae including 
a full list of publications, a brief description of research interests, and 
a list of at least two references familiar with the applicant's 
qualifications and experience. 

Further information is available from Professor David Wardle SLU Umeå, 
Department of Forest Ecology and Management, e-mail: 
[email protected] tel. +46 90 786 8471

Applications, marked with Ref No 11/10, must arrive at the Registrar of 
SLU, P.O. Box 7070, S- 750 07 Uppsala or [email protected] no later than 
31 March 2010.
