Join to apply for the Research assistant 80% (f/m/d) role at Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL.
To support the project with silvicultural expertise and to develop recommendations for the management of forested areas and afforestation in Armenia in a changing climate, you will:
1. Collect information on current silvicultural practices and ecosystem services.
2. Identify open questions, knowledge gaps, and existing problems.
3. Analyze the effects of climate change on forested areas and ecosystem services.
4. Assess the potential of possible measures to adapt to climate change.
5. Prepare documents for Armenian stakeholders and participate in local dissemination of findings and recommendations.
You have a graduate degree in forest or environmental sciences (at least MSc. level), very profound knowledge in climate adaptive forest management, good project management skills, and the willingness to carry out field and implementation work in Armenia at least twice. Proficiency in English (W+S) is essential to communicate easily with international project partners. Other languages such as German, Armenian, and/or Russian are an advantage, as is a Cat. B driving permit. To be successful in this project, you must communicate very precisely, work independently, thoughtfully, and efficiently. A healthy ability to work in a team and a high degree of flexibility are also important.
