ecosystems using a multi-disciplinary team approach. The research
scientist will be responsible for analyzing and synthesizing
productivity and genetics data from existing full-sib family block and
clonal variety trials, writing peer-reviewed manuscripts, and taking
the lead on new research projects. We are especially interested
in scientists who have broad fundamental knowledge of forest tree
growth, ability to integrate across research scales, and strong
analytical and communication skills. Qualifications: a Ph.D.
degree, with at least one degree in forestry/natural resources
preferred. The position is open immediately and available for two
years. A competitive salary and benefits, commensurate with
experience, will be offered. Send a cover letter, curriculum

action/equal opportunity employer.
