Postdoctoral position, forest epidemiology modeling

by Brigitte Burger

Von: Pascal Frey [mailto:frey@nancy.inra.fr] Gesendet: Montag, 10. März 2014 13:37 An: Forest Pathology World List Betreff: Postdoctoral position, forest epidemiology modeling Dear Forpathers, A postdoctoral position on forest epidemiology modeling is available at the Agroclim (INRA, Avignon) and Tree/Microorganism Interactions laboratories (INRA, Nancy) in France. The Agroclim and Tree/Microorganism Interactions (IaM) laboratories are seeking a highly-qualified post-doctoral researcher to work on a joint project assessing the impacts of climate change on the establishment and development of crop and forest pathosystems in France. Climate change largely questions food security, but its impact on fungal diseases has been under explored, resulting in poor anticipation by management strategies designed to limit epidemics. The most significant work on climate change’s impact on diseases in France is related to forests, with INRA already having developed research models resulting in a fine description of plant x pathogen x climate interactions, as well as operational approaches largely used in forest health to identify and quantify the risks associated to future bioclimatic niches. The main objective of this post-doctoral appointment will be to improve these existing models and use them on a country-wide scale in order to identify areas favorable to the development of selected diseases, both for present and for future climates. This will be done for two forest foliar pathogens (Dothistroma Needle Blight disease on laricio pine and Diplodia pinea on pine) and two soft and durum wheat aerial fungi (stem and leaf rusts). The successful candidate should hold a PhD with a background in epidemiology or agronomy/forestry, and also have experience in modeling. Excellent written and spoken skills in French or English are a must. The project is part of the larger framework of the newly started research network CLIF (Climate change and fungal diseases) within the INRA meta-programme, Adaptation of Agriculture and Forests to Climate Change. The successful candidate would join a group of approximately 30 scientists, including two international leaders in the field. The appointment is for two years, with a provisional start date of July 2014. The candidate’s time would be split between the two labs, with 15 months spent at the Agroclim unit in Avignon (http://www6.paca.inra.fr/agroclim) and 9 months at the Tree/Microorganism Interactions unit in Nancy (http://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/IAM/) Candidates must send their CV and a cover letter to Marie Launay (Agroclim, Avignon) <mailto:mlaunay@avignon.inra.fr> mlaunay(a)avignon.inra.fr and Benoit Marcais (IaM, Nancy) <mailto:benoit.marcais@nancy.inra.fr> benoit.marcais(a)nancy.inra.fr. Candidates will be encouraged to apply for an AgreenSkills fellowship that will bring the gross monthly salary up to €3500. The next call for submission is 5 May 2014, 24:00 CET. To find out more about the programme and whether you are able to apply for a fellowship, visit <http://www.agreenskills.eu> www.agreenskills.eu Benoit Marçais UMR Interactions Arbres/microorganismes, INRA-Nancy, France

We may have an unique opportunity to “support a maximum of 3 scientists (e.g. one each from Africa, Asia and Latin America) to attend the “Five needle pine genetics (2.02.15) & Rust of Forest Trees (7.02.05)” conference in June 2014. Some of you may know outstanding candidates around the world that normally would not have a chance to attend and contribute to this type of meeting. I would like to ask for your assistance locating candidates (short deadline on this) - those qualifying for sponsorship are from “low income” and “lower middle income” countries that I have indicated in red on the list below (I’ve done this quickly, so subject to verification, the source pdf is attached). Our IUFRO conference organisers/scientific committee selects the candidates for sponsorship (based on abstract submitted). Please note that an approved oral or poster is a considered a pre-condition for sponsorship. There are several steps to go through in this process of sponsorship, so we need to locate suitable candidates as soon as possible. Some possibilities: There are 5-needle pines (white pine) species in parts of Asia that we know little of; I’m sure there are many rusts of forest trees that we know little of. Information about the IUFRO Working Groups and the conference can be found at the link below June 2014 Conference: http://www.westernforestry.org/Events/conference/2014-five-needle-pine-gene… We have limited funding opportunity here, so if you know good qualified candidates, that will help the committee in its decision. ***Please send names/emails to me at rsniezko(a)fs.fed.us<mailto:rsniezko@fs.fed.us>, or have the candidates send me their information (name, institute, email address, species working on, proposed title(s) of presentation. The call for abstracts will also be out soon (next week).

using Google Street View to localise pest insects

by Pascal Frey

Dear Forpathers, For the first time, forest entomologists have used the freely downloadable Google Street View (GSV) database to map the geographical distribution of an increasingly common invasive pest insect, the pine processionary moth. The scientists estimated that this on-line database would provide a good representation of the presence of this species. Their findings, published in PLOS ONE on 9 October 2013, open the way to the simplified and inexpensive acquisition of data that are essential when studying invasive or expanding species. A nice idea, that may be tested for some tree diseases, at least for those with easily recognizable and unambiguous symptoms. Press release: http://presse.inra.fr/en/Resources/Press-releases/Using-Google-Street-View-… The article: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0074918 Best regards, ---- Dr Pascal FREY INRA, University of Lorraine Department of Tree - Microbe Interactions Ecology of Forest Pathogenic Fungi team UMR1136 IAM F-54280 Champenoux FRANCE Phone: 33 383 394 056 Fax: 33 383 394 069 E-mail: frey(a)nancy.inra.fr http://mycor.nancy.inra.fr/IAM/?page_id=731
