*Ph.D. Position - Forest Management - Planning - Ecosystem Dynamics*- 
Domain of study: Forest Management - Planning - Forest ecosystem 
dynamics. Description of research: The maintenance of ecological 
services has become a global issue of interest in recent years by the 
increasing recognition that ecosystems provide benefits vital to the 
well-being of man. However, many challenges remain for the 
implementation of their valuation in the management of forest ecosystems 
in Quebec (Canada). This project will develop a better understanding of 
the short and long-term consequences of forest practices on various 
ecosystem services and that in different ecological and socio-economic 
contexts. As part of this project, the student will be responsible of 
exploring the relationships existing between various indicators of 
environmental services (timber, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and 
socio-cultural values) taking into account the different spatiotemporal 
scales at which these indicators apply. The student will participate in 
the development of a model of forest planning and its coupling with 
spatially explicit models of natural disturbances (windthrow, insects, 
fire). The student will join a multi-institutional team of researchers 
in forestry and biology in Quebec (Laval, UQAM, UQAT, UQO, TELUQ, 
Ministry of Forestry, Wildlife and Parks and Chief Forester Office). A 
scholarship of Can$ 20,000/year will be available for 3 years. Ph.D. in 
forest sciences (Québec - Laval University). Note that although the 
language of instruction at Université Laval is French, one's thesis may 
be written in English. Profile of potential candidates:- Hold a M.Sc. in 
forest science, biology, environmental science, geography, or related 
discipline. - Have a strong interest in quantitative ecology and 
modeling. Have some knowledge of geographic information systems would be 
an asset. For more information, please contact Frédéric Raulier -
