I am presently trying to recruit a person for the position bellow. Please help me to spread it to any interested candidate. A PhD student position in plant ecology is now open in my research group at Umeå University, to work on effects of reindeer grazing in arctic ecosystem. More information about the project and how to apply can be found here: http://www8.umu.se/umu/aktuellt/arkiv/lediga_tjanster/313-1075-12.html(Swedish) and here: http://www8.umu.se/umu/aktuellt/arkiv/lediga_tjanster/313-1075-12.html#eng(English) Project description: Effects of reindeer on summer pasture productivity: using historical reindeer pens, border fences and reindeer herding districts as long-term and large scale ecological experiments. Reindeer can both increase and decrease the productivity of their grazing grounds. When and how this occur, and its importance for reindeer herding is still poorly known. The PhD student will use two natural experiments to investigate how reindeer influence the productivity of their summer ranges. 1. The PhD student will use data from the National Inventory of the Landscapes in Sweden (NILS) and remote sensing to address how productivity varies with reindeer densities at a landscape level. 2. The PhD student will also use historical reindeer pens in this project. These historical pens are still visible in the landscape as productive spots more than a century after the active use of them has ceased. The PhD student will study the ecological processes that maintain these productive spots for such a long time to gain knowledge about the long-term effect of grazing in these ecosystems. The focus of the project can shift within this framework depending on the competence and interest of the student.
