Post-doc in Tree-Ring Ecology 80-100

vor 1 Tag

Birmensdorf ZH, Zürich, Schweiz Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL Vollzeit CHF 60'000 - CHF 90'000 pro Jahr

As part of the EU project OptFORESTS – Harnessing forest genetic resources for increasing options in the face of environmental and societal challenges, you will contribute to achieving long-term goals related to tackling climate change and natural disasters while maintaining or enhancing forest biodiversity and ecosystem services. Your work will focus on the analysis of common-garden tree-ring width and density data from various species and provenances across Europe. In particular, you will identify differences in tree-ring density profiles and explore their environmental and genetic drivers. This work will support the project's goal of enhancing the diversity of forest genetic resources in use and conservation by defining indicators of fitness, resilience, and wood properties in common garden trials.

You will join an enthusiastic and collaborative team that includes leading researchers in dendrochronology and forest genetics. The position is based at WSL within the Dendrosciences group, a globally recognised centre for tree-ring science. Collaboration with international research partners is expected and encouraged.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Environmental Sciences, Earth Sciences, or a related field, and ideally have experience with tree-ring and climatic data. You should be skilled in data analysis and visualisation using R or Python, and motivated to publish your results in scientific journals. A strong interest in applied interdisciplinary and international research is expected, as well as a structured, efficient, and independent working style combined with good communication skills and team spirit. Excellent command of written and spoken English is required.

Please send your complete application to Stefania Pe, Human Resources WSL, by uploading the requested documents through our webpage. Applications via email will not be considered. Patrick Fonti (phone , ) will be happy to answer any questions or offer further information. WSL is committed to diversity and inclusion as core values. We actively promote gender equality and foster an open, inclusive work environment.
