[Kristen Eisenberg]

h.D. position: Consequence of natural disturbances on the design of the forest industry

Domain of study: Forest management - Landscape ecology - Strategic planning

Description of research: We are looking for a Ph.D. candidate to design a strategic plan formulation sensitive to the influence of timber price projections and to the sustainability of forest management, including fire risk. The study takes place in the boreal forest of Quebec and Ontario, Canada. 

This project fits within a larger collaborative research to provide the forest industry and policy makers with new advanced planning and decision support systems.

Profile of potential candidates:
- Education in forest sciences or biology preferred but not mandatory,
- Preference will be given to candidates demonstrating a strong potential in the use and analysis of quantitative data (mathematical programming).

The successful applicant will join a Canada-wide research network that offers many opportunities for interaction (http://www.reseauvco.ca/en/home/). Funds are available for two stays, one at the fire laboratory of David Martell (U. Toronto - http://www.firelab.utoronto.ca/) and one with Glen Armstrong (U. Alberta - http://www.ualberta.ca/~gwa/).

The PhD position includes a full 3-yr scholarship and is expected to start in September 2011.
