Join our cross-disciplinary team of researchers in a project concerning forest
phenology. We are looking for one student specializing in remote sensing and one in
ecosystem modelling. The students will participate in a FORMAS-supported project that
involves a wide range of expertise, including remote sensing, ecosystem modelling, statistics,
forest management and forest economics.
Supervisors for the two currently announced positions will be Lars Eklundh (remote sensing)
and Anna Maria Jönsson (ecosystem modeling).
The studentships are open for application and announcements are placed on the university web pages.
The reference numbers are 588 (remote sensing) and 605 (ecosystem modelling).
See link to the positions here.

Phenology is the study of periodic plant and animal life cycle events, and how these
are influenced by seasonal and interannual cycles. We want to investigate how possible
changes in phenological cycles can affect future forests in northern Europe. We will use
remote sensing, statistics and advanced models in ecosystem science and forest management
to predict the effects of phenological change related to global warming.
