Dear colleagues, A position as a permanent INRAE researcher is open at the Silva unit in Nancy, France, entitled "*Research officer on functional diversity under water stress*". I post this job offer on our Fagaceae and Nothofagaceae mailing list, because a) we are looking for a young research in ecophysiology, but who is interested in within-species diversity and might also have some background in population genetics b) because he/she will, at least in the beginning, work very probably on oak or beech. The aim is to study the intra-specific and even intra-population diversity of functional traits observed on young trees subjected to water stress, using multi-trait approaches to identify and characterise individual strategies of resistance and resilience to these disturbances. The aim will be to integrate scales, functional responses and response dynamics to describe the overall functioning of young trees. Please find more details on the job offer here : https://jobs.inrae.fr/en/open-competitions/open-competitions-research-scien… and some general information on the INRAE job offers here : https://jobs.inrae.fr/en/open-competitions/open-competitions-research-scien… <https://jobs.inrae.fr/en/open-competitions/open-competitions-research-scientists-job-profiles-crcn> <https://jobs.inrae.fr/en/open-competitions/open-competitions-research-scientists-job-profiles-crcn/cr-2023-ecodiv-4>The _2023 campaign calendar is _ - Opening date for applications: January 30, 2023 - *Deadline for applications: March 2, 2023* - Pre-selections (on scientific file): April 2023 - Final selections (interview): between end of May and mid-June 2023 - Starting date for appointments: from September 2023 Could you please circulate the announcement to your networks and to potentially interested young researchers ?
