Within the framework of the WSL research programs EXTREMES and CCAMM, you will process and analyze spatial data concerning forest structures, forest dynamics (natural disturbances), and natural hazards. Your work will include identifying current and future disturbance areas (e.g. bark beetle hotspots) in protection forests based on LiDAR data and GIS analyses and thus support protection forest management. Furthermore, you will work closely with researchers at the WSL sites in Davos and Birmensdorf and foster an interdisciplinary exchange. In addition, you will work on technical reports and contribute to scientific publications.

You have a MSc degree in environmental science, forestry, geography or a comparable field and experience in remote sensing, GIS, spatial data analysis and statistical data evaluation. In addition, you are familiar with or interested in natural hazards, natural disturbances, protection forest management and risk assessment and have a basic understanding of environmental modelling. As a team-oriented and communicative personality, you work in an interdisciplinary, reliable, precise and structured manner.
