Postdoctoral Researcher, Faculty of Science, Finland
Postdoctoral Fellowship at the department of geoscience and Geography in University of Helsinki
The aim of the project is to use the key palaeoecological data combined with modeling and remote sensing approaches for investigating the long-term trends of the Arctic tree-line in northern Europe (Fennoscandia and Russia). Special weight is given to reconstructing the Holocene shifts of the northern margin of the Boreal conifer forest, associated changes in the biomass of the conifer forest and the tundra, and the resulting changes of the Arctic albedo. The project aims to use novel approaches for estimating vegetation cover (also in terms of biomass) and to integrate the data with dynamic vegetation modeling to explore the biomass and carbon dynamics that are linked to the treeline changes. The project is strongly connected to other on-going international programs and collaboration.
Terms of employment: The maximum duration of the contract will be 3 years, depending on the date the post-doc will start. The starting monthly salary will be 3 100–3 200 E. The position is a full-time research position, including some commitment for teaching or departmental responsibilities.
3 Postdoctoral and 2 Doctoral Student Positions, Finland
Fellowship at the Departments of Forest sciences and Agricultural Sciences
Study Subject: Applied bio informatics, functional genomic, evolutionary biology and molecular biology
Employer: University of Helsinki
Level: Postdoctoral,Doctoral
We are looking to recruit highly motivated postdoc and doctoral students to work in Applied bio informatics, Functional genomic , Evolutionary fungal biology, or Fungal molecular biology with primary focus on developing a comparative genomic platform on Fungal Pathology.
Fungi (saprotrophs, pathogens, mutualists) associated with cultivated plants and forest trees are known to play fundamental roles in the health of cultivated crops and boreal forests, influencing their vitality and productivity. Comparisons at genomic and gene expression levels between the contrasting plant-fungus situations will help to forward our understanding of key elements in the interactions and the evolution of the various forms. Increasing wealth of fungal genomes sequences is becoming available. The key for maximal usage of data is in advanced methods of bio informatics. Our aim is to develop a strong platform of theoretical expertise in fungal pathogenesis which will facilitate research and educational goals. This effort is supported by the Finland Distinguished Professor (FiDiPro) programme (http://www.fidipro.fi/pages/home.php).
