We are looking for five industrial PhD students in the research fields of 1) drought resistance biology; 2) drought resistance breeding; 3) forest genomics; 4) forest microbiology and 5) forest pathology.
The PhD students will join the Research School in Future Silviculture at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences which is part of the Wallenberg Initiative in Forestry Research .The use and utilization of the forest is an issue where the balance between forest production and the environment is in focus. Growth in Swedish forests has declined over the past 15 years.
This project will quantify the genetic variability and genomic base for drought resistance for Norway spruce trees of the breeding populations and populations collected throughout the European species range. The project will develop new competences in genomic breeding and address challenges to incorporate genomics in traditional breeding program at Skogforsk. The combination of phenotyping, genotype-environment association and genotype-phenotype association in this project are novel approaches.
