The Department of Forest Resource Management is looking for a senior researcher in forest planning. The Department conducts research and teaching within the areas of Forest Planning, Forest Remote Sensing, Forest Inventory and Sampling, Mathematical Statistics Applied to Forest Sciences and Landscape Studies. The Department is responsible for several environmental monitoring and assessment programs including the Swedish National Forest Inventory, National Inventory of Landscapes in Sweden, Terrestrial Habitat Monitoring and the Butterfly and Bumblebee Inventory.
The Capability Systems Centre at UNSW Canberra will host the Systems Thinking and Modelling (STM) Summer School the week before MODSIM 2019. The STM Summer School will include intensive learning sessions including one-on one time:
This PhD is part of BIOWOOD, a large interdisciplinary R&D project funded by FWO Flanders. The major aim of BioWood is to support the development of a new wood-based value chain in Flanders, focusing on lignin-first biorefinery. Reaching this goal relies on an integration of a sustainable wood supply, a feasible conversion process and high value bio-based products.
EFI has just opened this year’s call for scientific visits for young researchers from forest research and education organisations to visit another institution. This year EFI will offer a maximum of 10 grants for Short Scientific Visits (SSV) for Early Stage Researchers from EFI Associate and Affiliate Member organisations. These visits provide a unique opportunity for interested candidates to get involved in international level forest research and research co-operation.
This thesis work will contribute to the development of group decision-support systems and multi-agent systems in the Cooperative multi-agent systems team (IRIT).
Applications are invited for a Post-Doctoral position in the working group of Dr Griess, Department of Forest Resources Management, Faculty of Forestry at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. A high achieving research student with a background in natural resources management is going to be appointed, whose research will be guided by the question: “How to guide decision makers in choosing optimum mitigation strategies to fight forest invasive alien species infestations”
Job description: Researcher is expected to participate in the development of forest planning systems, especially integration of decision and learning theories with computational intelligence.
Expectations concerning the applicant: We expect PhD in forest inventory, forest planning, forest modelling or related computational methods/intelligence as well as experiences in qualitative and quantitative methods for decision support in forest and land-use planning in different scale.
You are invited to participate to the workshop on Decision Making organised in Toulouse, Manufacture des Tabacs, Amphi MBIII, April 24th - 26th 2017.
