Post-doctoral research associate examining long-term forest
structural and compositional dynamics
The University of Minnesota, Department of Forest Resources and USDA
Forest Service Northern Research Station are seeking a postdoctoral
scientist to contribute to research assessing the long-term
structural and compositional dynamics of natural and managed forests
in the upper Great Lakes region. This postdoctoral position will have
the opportunity to work with a temporally and spatially rich suite of
existing detailed field measurements from long-term (> 50 years)
forest plots spanning managed to old-growth conditions within
north-central Minnesota. The post-doc will work closely with
scientists at the University of Minnesota and the USDA Forest Service
Northern Research Station and will contribute to regional
examinations of the influence of management, natural disturbance, and
environmental conditions on forest development in the region.
The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in forest ecology, forestry,
silviculture, or a closely related field, experience with processing
and analyzing forest structural and compositional data, a strong work
ethic, demonstrated writing and quantitative capabilities, including
multivariate and spatial statistics, a record of leadership, and a
proven ability to work independently.
