Subject: Postdoc position in Forest Modelling in Romania
Dear colleagues and friends,
The National Institute for Research and Development in Forestry (INCDS) “Marin Drăcea” in Romania is hiring a post-doc for two years.
The position should start as soon as possible and preferably in June this year. We are looking for somebody with a background in forest ecology and modelling to implement a forest landscape simulation model aimed at forecasting the future of Romanian forests under range of climate and management scenarios.
Please find further information in the attachment.
The only hard requirement of the position is that candidates must have working rights within the EU.
Could you please circulate this offer to potential candidates you know of and who are looking for postdoc opportunities?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cristina Aponte

Betreff: IUFRO Oak Session in India
Colleagues,
IUFRO Working Party 1.01.06 - Ecology and silviculture of oak is holding a satellite session on "Ecology and Silviculture of Sub-tropical and Tropical Oaks under Global Change" during the Sixth International Conference on Plants & Environmental Pollution (ICPEP-6); Lucknow, India; 27-30 November 2018.
Oak (Quercus spp.) trees are an important component of many hilly forests in sub-tropical and tropical areas in Central America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. Oak forests in these parts of the world are declining and becoming vulnerable to climate change impacts such as droughts, floods, forest fires, mudslides, and cyclones. In addition, deforestation, poverty, rising level of pollution, and lack of sustainable forest management practices further contribute to the degradation of oak forests. This represents a significant ecological crisis because oak forests are known for high biodiversity and provide a wide range of ecosystem services to local populations. Therefore, immediate focus should be given to conservation and sustainable management of oak forests. However, our understanding of the ecology and silviculture of many subtropical and tropical oak species is inadequate. In this session, we welcome submissions of research and review works on subtropical and tropical oaks on a wide range of topics in the field of (but NOT limited to): forest ecology, restoration ecology, silviculture, soil science, biodiversity conservation, forest management, forest economics, forest entomology, forest pathology, traditional ecological knowledge, genetics, etc. The contributions in this session will be published in a special issue of an appropriate peer-reviewed journal.
The conference webpage is: http://isebindia.com/
The session flyer can be downloaded at: http://isebindia.com/icpep-6/icpep-6-iufro-oak-session-flyer.pdf
The abstract submission deadline is 31st July 2018.
Beste Grüße aus Kalte Karlsruhe..!
