[IUFRO Div 4] Vacancy for PostDoc silviculture researcher - Teagasc, Ireland

Dear Colleagues: Teagasc are recruiting, for an indicative duration of 45 months, a post-doctoral researcher to be based at their Ashtown Research Centre in Dublin. The post-doctoral researcher will carry out research on ContinuFor, which is a new project funded by the Irish Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM). ContinuFor is a multi-discipline research project led by Prof. Áine Ní Dhubhaín from UCD with Teagasc and NUI Maynooth as project partners. The project aims to increase the knowledge base on continuous cover forestry (CCF) in Ireland. The post-doctoral researcher at Teagasc will collaborate with project partners to investigate suitable silvicultural approaches to transformation to CCF, and determine the consequences of transformation for timber production (quality and quantity), biodiversity, resilience and carbon sequestration. The focus of the researcher will be to leverage two existing long-term transformation research sites that have been active since 2010, collect field-data from these sites, and establish another replicate site. Applicants should have experience in fieldwork, forest mensuration, data analysis, report writing and dissemination. The ideal candidate should have experience working in forestry research and be familiar with CCF. The role will involve working closely with the wider project team and industry, so good organisational skills, project management and a demonstrated capacity to deliver on objectives and research tasks and team work are essential. An ability to communicate the research findings to relevant stakeholders and internal and external groups is an essential part of the role.
