[IUFRO Div 3] Call for applications

The ETN Skill-For.Action project, funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 program (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions - Innovative Training Network), is currently recruiting a total of 12 fully-funded Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs) who can enroll in PhD programs in participating institutions. ETN Skill-For.Action will provide students with high-quality training and innovative research opportunities, as well as financial support for travel. Among the twelve positions, the following six are related to Forest Operations and Forest Engineering: - ESR07 CO2 emission control in forest operations (University of Padova, Italy) link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/17M1pOXxMwG-wph1AiUc7OTKvmvORDBWG/view> - ESR08 Soil wheel CO2 interaction (FBZ, Germany) (German language is a plus) link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yy3dQhLvJu4xP-SHTl94IE-v1-CDR6fc/view> - ESR09 Intelligent combination of airborne data and terrestrial LiDAR for obtaining micro surface, tree and assortment data for an improved timber harvesting planning (Stellenbosh, South Africa) link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GUzdkhMMmLzLhh7cMr7xLMjcXiuueooB/view> - ESR10 Forest machine simulation for resource-efficient production (RWTH, Germany) (Master on Computer Science is a pre-requisite, German language is a plus ) link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PKJfeacP5xpBnOZdob0eIe3Tx442D3em/view> - ESR11 Optimisation analysis for harvesting strategies (at the stand level) (FBH, Switzerland) link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1clZ1xz2d7PjY48h8wf9-Ri85IP0bmN5n/view> - ESR12 Opportunities and limitations of robust optimization in forest management on enterprise-level (TUM, Germany) link <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1su64dFP1YVFPwNjmTKtZfvuZtfG0OSsF/view> The ETN Skill-For.Action project integrates the fundamental research in forest ecology and applied science of forest engineering, which is crucial for a complete understanding of carbon dynamics in forest management. The main project goal is to provide high-level training and education in adaptive and integrative forest management under global changes to a new generation of ESRs for a successful career in the forest sector and natural resources management.
