☀️ This summer, we teamed up with our sister project SUPERB project to build a Forest Quest in the Queen Elisabeth Forest Park in Scotland.

The self-guided trail invited visitors to discover more about #ClimateSmartForestry.

🌿🪲 #PostDoc Alert! PhD in #Biology or #EnvironmentalSciences? Strong background in plant-herbivore interactions and good knowledge in R programming? We offer a PostDoc position in the fields of #InvasionBiology, #Spectroscopy and #ChemicalEcology: apply.refline.ch/273855/1772/... #ScienceJobs
Job offer: PostDoc in “Invasion Biology, Spectroscopy, Chemical Ecology” 80-100% (f/m/d) You will join the FORSAID initiative which is seeking to establish a novel and comprehensive paradigm for identifying, observing and containing pest proliferations across Europe. As part of FORSAID, your research will focus on the invasive emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis, EAB) which has killed millions of ash trees outside its native range over the past 20 years. Given the advancing threat of the EAB in central Europe, it is crucial to implement effective screening and diagnostic methods. These methods are essential for two main purposes: the early detection of the beetle in European ash populations and the identification of ash trees with increased resistance to the pest. You will use controlled infestation experiments in biosafety greenhouses in combination with some field work to: (i) monitor the leaf spectral and metabolomic responses of ash trees attacked by EAB, (ii) use these response signals to distinguish EAB-induced stress from drought-related symptoms, and (iii) identify tree genotypes with enhanced resistance to EAB. You hold a PhD degree in Biology or Environmental Sciences and have a strong background in multivariate statistical analyses, chemical ecology, plant-herbivore interactions and experimental planning. Furthermore, we expect good knowledge in R programming, a good command of English, as well as strong skills in scientific paper writing. FORSAID encourages close collaborations among different European research groups. As such it is essential that you enjoy interacting with scientists of an interdisciplinary team and presenting your data to an international audience.
