*Post-doctoral Research Associate Examining Management Impacts on Forest
Response to Climate Variability*
The University of Minnesota, Department of Forest Resources and the U.S.
Forest Service are seeking a postdoctoral scientist to contribute to
research assessing the impacts of various long-term forest management
regimes on forest-level responses to weather fluctuations and
disturbance in forests of the northern Lake States and New England. This
position is part of a larger project examining the capacity of forest
management strategies to impart resilience and resistance of ecological
processes to changing climate and increasing weather variability on
several Experimental Forests in the upper Lake States and New England.
This work will capitalize on a network of existing research sites with a
rich suite of existing detailed field measurements and
dendrochronological data. The post-doc will work closely with scientists
at the University of Minnesota and the USDA Forest Service Northern
Research Station.
The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in forest ecology, forestry,
silviculture, ecosystem ecology, or a closely related field, experience
with dendrochronology, as well as a strong work ethic, demonstrated
writing and quantitative capabilities, a record of leadership, and a
proven ability to work independently.
Applications or questions can be directed to Dr. Anthony D'Amato
([email protected], 612-625-3733).
Applications and required documents must be submitted online at the
University of Minnesota Employment website: http://employment.umn.edu,
