PhD, Post-doc
I have a post-doc position within the research program Future Forests, in charge of the component project Swedish forest sector in a global context. The objective of
the project is to analyze the implications for the Swedish forest sector of different possible future developments for international forest product markets. The project is
based on international cooperation in the context of EFSOS, European Forest Sector Outlook Study. In addition, I am involved in the scenario analysis of the Swedish forest
sector undertaken in the Future Forests. Prior to the employment at the Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre, I worked two years at the FAO in Rome, modelling
supply and demand of wood products and providing global market projections for the FAO publication State of the Worlds forests (http://www.fao.org/docrep/011/i0350e/i0350e00.htm).
