Postdoc in Forest Dynamics Modeling

The at ETH aims to maximize forest utilities for humans today and in the future. With this vision in mind our research is centered around the development of impact oriented new approaches to inventory our forest resources, decision support systems to manage our forests sustainably under risk, and translating our findings to policy and practice.

Project background

Forest dynamics models increasingly need to represent climate-sensitive ecological processes while remaining computationally robust, transparent, and reproducible. The model Forest Studio is designed as a modular modelling environment that integrates ecological theory, empirical data, and modern scientific programming workflows.

This position focuses on advancing the implementation of ecological processes, such as regeneration, mortality, and natural disturbance regimes, while ensuring rigorous testing, documentation, and integration...
