Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the organization of a summer school in the
framework of the NFZ-forestnet (Nancy-Freiburg-Zurich) on the topic
"Emerging pests and diseases in temperate forests" which will take place
at INRAE Champenoux, near Nancy, North-East France, from 6 to 10 July,
2020. The summer school is mainly intended for PhD students, but also
young researchers, and Master's students interested in understanding the
biology and the epidemiology of emerging pests and diseases in temperate
forests, and gaining insight into the consequences for forest management.
More information and the program are available at :
https://workshop.inrae.fr/nfz-summerschool/. The registration of
participants is now open and candidate participants should register
until May 1, 2020. Registration is free, but participants will cover
their own travel and accommodation costs.
The scientific committee decided so far to maintain the summer school
despite the current Covid-19 crisis, as we hope that the situation will
be settled by then. In case the situation is still complicated for
traveling abroad, we will make our final decision whether to maintain or
to postpone it by June 1, 2020.
Please help us disseminating this announcement to potentially interested
students.
Take care of yourself.
Best regards,
Pascal Frey, Benoit Marçais, Christelle Robinet and Valentin Queloz

Dear all,
See below for information about this exciting vacancy in Forest Entomology in New Zealand. Additional information on the position description and how to apply can be obtained at https://careers.sciencenewzealand.org/jobdetails/ajid/9nhT8/Senior-Scientis…
Senior Scientist, Forest Entomology - Scion
[https://careers.sciencenewzealand.org/blob/?bm=glry&id=0dbdprxjf6lijdqv8qol…]
The Scion Forest Protection team is currently looking for a Senior Forest Entomologist. This exciting role will undertake fundamental and applied research to protect New Zealand plantation forests from entomological threats both now and into the future.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop and lead research programmes that focus on the biology and ecology of forest insects and strategies for mitigating the impact of current and potential future pests.
Key responsibilities:
* Lead innovative research via laboratory and field trials related to either general forest entomology or more specifically forest insect risk assessment, insect functional ecology, surveillance, or long-term pest management.
* Develop new and original research programmes and ideas with the Research Leader and Forest Protection team.
* Demonstrate science impact by disseminating research findings through scientific publications and presentations at national and international events.
* Generate collaboration within and across the research sub-portfolio project teams towards successful deliverables.
* Depending on the skills and experience of the candidate there is the potential to lead and manage staff in an area of research speciality.
* Create a team culture of high-performance excellence and be a role model of the Scion values.
An ideal candidate will bring:
* A PhD in entomology or invertebrate biology with more than 10 years proven experience in planted or natural forest systems, biodiversity, community ecology, or forest biosecurity.
* International experience and networks in the relevant research areas.
* Proven leadership and experience in the design of high quality science programmes.
* A proven track record in publishing high quality science publications.
* A great communicator that is skilled talking to groups and individuals, including conference presentations, external stakeholders and industry as well as Science Leaders, Research Leaders, General Managers and team members.
* Uses rigorous logic and methods to solve difficult problems with effective solutions; probes all sources for answers; can see hidden problems; provides honest analysis; looks beyond the obvious and doesn't stop at the first answers.
* Knows personal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and limits; seeks feedback; gains insights from mistakes; is open to criticism; isn't defensive; and is receptive to talking about shortcomings.
* Expert knowledge of NZ's science system and experience in working with the commercial forestry sector and biosecurity system and their end-users and clients is desirable.
* Confidence in experimental design, as well as analysis and visualisation of data for publication using R, SAS or similar is preferable.
Scion specialises in research, science and technology development that applies to forest ecosystems and forest growing, wood products and wood-derived materials. We lead planted forest research, new technology development for renewables, bioproducts and energy and the establishment of a broader based circular bio-economy. Scion's Forest Protection team plays a key role as we strive to protect NZ's plantation and urban forests from the challenges of insects, diseases, and fire.
