        10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial">The Department of Agriculture
        Food and the
        Marine in Ireland has approved a new programme of research in
        the area of
        forest genetic resources, involving UCD, Coillte (the Irish
        Forestry Board),
        the National Botanic Gardens, Teagasc and several research
        consultants. The
        FORGEN programme commenced 15th December 2011 and will continue
        until 14th
        December 2015. UCD Forestry would like to recruit two PhD
        candidates to conduct
        research in the area of physiological methods to assess the
        performance of
        different Sitka spruce improved genotypes in Ireland. The two
        PhD students will
        work on two similar projects and collaboration will be expected.
        The two
        projects are summarised as follows: FORGEN PhD.01: The use of
        physiological
        methods to assess the performance of different Sitka spruce
        improved genotypes
        under stress and non-stress conditions in field and greenhouse
        trials, with a
        view to developing a protocol to select elite material at an
        early age. FORGEN
        PhD.02: Investigation of physiological and morphological basis
        of resource
        allocation in Sitka spruce trees that might explain genotype
        performance
        differences at stand level. The aim of the research is to
        develop optimisation
        protocols for the deployment of improved material in the field.
        Preferred
        Selection Criteria &#8211; BSc and MSc which together cover the
        following
        disciplines: forestry, or the biological sciences, such as
        genetics, plant
        physiology, cell biology or other closed related disciplines.
        Both positions:
        capable of independent research and team work. Prepared to work
        together during
        parts of the research. Very good oral and written communication
        skills in
        English are mandatory. A clean driving licence is desirable.
        Candidates should
        state the preferred area of research in their application
        (FOREGN PhD.01 or
        ~.02). The tuition fee allowance is insufficient to cover non-EU
        fees
        (currently double the EU rate), so only EU citizens should
        apply. Both PhD
        positions are available for 3.5 years. Start of the work
        contract is no later
        than 1 April 2012. The (tax-free) scholarship will be &#8364;16,000
        per year and
        EU-level tuition fees (&#8364;5,800 in 2011/12) up to &#8364;6,000 are paid
        by the project.
        Each student will be registered for the PhD degree with
        University College
        Dublin. The research should result in the successful defence of
        a PhD thesis in
        3.5 years. Application process Indicate in your application the
        position for
        which you are applying ( FOREGN PhD.01 or ~.02) . The
        application deadline is
        16 March 2012. We will acknowledge all applications, but we will
        contact only
        short-listed candidates. Please send your CV and a cover letter
        (in which you
        explain why you are interested in the position, why you should
        be selected for
