Ph.D. position: Dynamic mapping of carbon content in Québec's boreal forest
Domain of study: Forest management - Strategic planning Description of research: We are looking for a Ph.D. candidate to develop a map of forest carbon for the boreal forest of the Province of Québec (Canada) using sequences of satellite imagery and statistical and process-based modeling tools. This project fits within a larger effort to impute the carbon cost of forest management to the solid wood products that are extracted from a management unit, and uses information from a parallel project on the change in forest carbon content over a forest management unit during the past few years. Profile of potential candidates: - Education in forest sciences, biology, or other quantitative disciplines, - Preference will be given to candidates demonstrating a strong potential in the use and analysis of quantitative data. The successful applicant will join a research program that offers many opportunities for interaction (http://www.cef-cfr.ca/ , http://canadaforests.nrcan.gc.ca/?lang=en , http://www.crb.ulaval.ca/index.php ). The PhD position includes a full 3-yr scholarship and is expected to start in September 2011. Study program : Doctorat en Sciences Forestières, Département des sciences du bois et de la forêt, Université Laval (http://www.ulaval.ca), Québec. Note that although the language of instruction at Université Laval is French, one's thesis may be written in English.
