We arrange both courses and seminars. Take a look at our programme for 2021!
This course aims to help preparing students to analyze, interpret and report their data using the most up-to-date methods in R. Special attention will be given to discuss questions springing from the students own work and the biological interpretation of data. The course is intended to deepen the students’ understanding of all aspects of ecological inferences, not as a cook book of “how to”.
Course activities include initial readings, classroom discussions, lectures, hands-on and home exercises. Each unit corresponds to one credit and includes theme/workshop and is planned for one full day except the Meta-analysis unit that is planned for two days.
Apply by sending an email indicating which specific units you are interested in to the course organizer: Mohammad Bahram (mohammad.bahram@slu.se) no later than 29 November 2020.
How to become a postdoc half day seminar March 4. Learn about what is required to apply for funds or positions, why you should do a post doc, and other things that may be important to consider. Invited researchers (about applications writing and reviewing) and former postdocs presenting information and their perspective based on their experience.
The course aim to give an introduction to philosophy of science, history, present views and implications for research within the field of biology and to give an overview and understanding of ethics in science including the use of animals in research.
Channels for research communication of popular science will be presented. Examples are poster presentation, press release and popular science writing, blogging, electronic and social media. This will be performed by lectures, seminars and practical exercises.
The focus of the course will be on biotic, abiotic and socio-economic conditions for crop production in Northern Europe, emphasising alternatives of management and cultivation measures. The aim is to give an overview perspective of North European agriculture and to some extent forestry, and to give PhD students an opportunity to link their own projects to applied cultivation systems and management.
The aim of the course is to help each student overcome the initial steep learning curve that is associated with learning R, and how to think in a structured and logical way to make programming easier.
This course is composed of two parts: an initial preparatory part to read assigned literature followed by a field part at the field station Tovetorp in Södermanland. The vascular plant flora of central Sweden is explored during excursions when keying out species will be trained and pedagogic methods in teaching of species knowledge will be discussed. Each participant will also perform an inventory project.
The course aim is to give an overview and learn the basics on how to prepare and write a scientific paper for submission to an international, peer reviewed scientific journal. A special emphasis of the course is to consider and become familiar with the reviewing process. The course includes two parts: a first part with five meetings where different aspects of the writing process is discussed. The second part of the course consists of review seminars with a group of 3 -5 students and one invited researcher where one of the participants’ manuscript is reviewed and discussed.
The aim of the course is to illustrate the application of number of multivariate methods on ecological data. Ordination and classification procedures will be demonstrated in lectures and exercises.
How and when to perform Bayesian analyses and how to interpret and report the outcome of the analyses.
