Are you aiming for an academic career in forest science or do you want to increase your chances of getting a leading position in the forestry sector? Welcome to apply for our PhD education.
Dig deeper into forest science
As a PhD student you work in close collaboration with senior researchers and other PhD students, and are therefore an important part of our research environment. During your PhD studies at our department you will get the opportunity to dig deeper into one of our four research areas:
- Forest pathology
- Silviculture and forest production
- Conservation ecology and forest history
- Forest policy and planning
