Research group description
Boreal Ecosystems Research Group (BERG) is a multidisciplinary research team with broad research interests. We aim to understand how to reconcile biodiversity conservation with increasing demands of natural resources in boreal landscapes under intensive management. We try to identify the ecological, economic and functional values of the landscape, which should be taken into account in planning and decision-making.
For postdocs, there are funding possibilities such as Marie Sklodowska Curie Fellowships, Academy postdoctoral fund and various foundations. If you are interested in applying we are willing to help. Just send us an email.
