The work focuses on the climate impact of these unexpected events. The project is part of the activities at the competence center Trees for Me.\nChanges in the external environment linked to the consequences of climate change and political instability have become increasingly clear and evident in recent years. For example, the extent of forest fires, storms, and insect attacks has increased, and the consequences for forests have in some cases been catastrophic. However, there are measures that can reduce the risk of, and\/or the effects of, most of these events; examples of such measures include changes in tree species selection and forest management strategies.\nMeasures to reduce the occurrence and effects of unexpected, undesired events typically involve increased costs and\/or reduced revenues in the short term. They also affect the system's overall climate impact. Converting forest management to completely eliminate the effects of all conceivable disturbances is not feasible; measures must instead be weighed against the risk of a disturbance occurring and the potential damage such an event could cause.\nTrees for Me is a competence center focused on fast-growing hardwood trees \u2013 such as poplar, aspen, hybrid aspen, and birch \u2013 for sustainable forests, materials, and energy. Around 20 partner organizations from academia, research institutes, industry, and the public sector collaborate within the center. The goal is to develop scientifically grounded, innovative solutions for \u2013 and build future competence in \u2013 a new and resilient system for supplying forest biomass, intended for processing into high-value material and energy products. In the second phase of Trees for Me, approximately ten new PhD students and postdoctoral researchers are now to be recruited. They will collaborate with actors across the entire forest value chain to build research competence and knowledge for the benefit of the energy and forest sectors.\nDuties:\nThe PhD student is expected to read and critically review scientific literature in English and to publish and present results in scientific journals and at conferences. The PhD student shall also participate in doctoral training courses and contribute to the department's activities.\nEligibility:\nBasic eligibility is held by those who have completed an advanced level degree, completed course requirements of at least 240 credits, of which at least 60 credits at advanced level, or who in some other way within or outside the country have acquired substantially equivalent knowledge (Higher Education Ordinance, Chapter 7 \u00a7 39).\nSpecific eligibility for admission to doctoral training in the subject of Technology is held by those who have knowledge equivalent to at least 90 higher education credits in courses in technology-relevant subjects. These must include an independent work and at least 30 higher education credits must be at advanced level. For others, specific eligibility is assessed on a case-by-case basis with regard to the research task.\nFurthermore, you must have knowledge of English equivalent to a passing grade in English B\/6 from Swedish upper secondary school.\nYour Background:\nQualification Requirements:\nAdvanced level degree (engineering or master's degree) in forest science, technology, natural resource economics, or a related field.\nVery strong ability to communicate in English, both verbally and in writing.\n\nMeritorious Qualifications:\nKnowledge within agriculture and forestry\nBio-based products and energy\nRisk analysis\nLife cycle assessment (LCA) and modeling\n\nIf one or two of these competencies are lacking, it is possible to supplement the knowledge base after admission.\nGreat weight is placed on personal qualities, such as collaboration skills, analytical ability and problem-solving skills, motivation, and ability to work independently.\nAbout Us:\nThe Department of Energy and Technology at the Center for Land, Water and Environment (MVM) offers a stimulating and interdisciplinary research environment with both national and international focus. Our research in this area focuses on technical solutions and systems for how resources can be used efficiently and sustainably for the production of fuels, electricity, heat, and biomaterials. The department and the participating researchers have extensive experience in doctoral training and supervision.\nMore information about the Department of Energy and Technology: https:\/\/www.slu.se\/om-slu\/organisation\/institutioner\/energi-teknik\nLearn more about our benefits and what it is like to work at SLU at https:\/\/www.slu.se\/om-slu\/jobba-pa-slu\/\nLearn more about SLU's doctoral training at http:\/\/www.slu.se\/utbildning\/program-kurser\/forskarutbildning\/.\nEmployment Form and Salary:\nEmployment as a PhD student (4 years of training).\nThe salary for the PhD student position follows a locally negotiated collective agreement with fixed salary steps.\nScope:\n100%.\nLocation:\nUppsala.\nStart Date:\nBy agreement, but no later than December 2026.\nApplication and Selection:\nWelcome to submit your application via the application button below no later than 2026-09-25.\nLearn more about the attachments your application should include at https:\/\/www.slu.se\/utbildning\/studera\/forskarutbildning\/hur-kan-jag-bli-doktorand\/ansokan-och-bilagor\/\nSelection among eligible applicants is made based on the attachments included in the application, and shall be made with regard to the ability to complete the training within the set time.\nTrade Union Contact Persons\nhttps:\/\/internt.slu.se\/min-anstallning\/facket\/kontaktpersoner\/\nSwedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) has a key role in developing sustainable living, grounded in science and education.
