Research activities include the development of close-to-nature and climate-resilient management approaches, the evaluation of silvicultural adaptation measures or the study of forest regeneration under changing climatic conditions. In cooperation with neighboring disciplines, additional areas of focus can be maintained, such as analyzing how different tree species and forest structures respond to climatic stress factors. A strong commitment to teaching in forestry and environmental science programs is required. Constitutive requirements (mandatory criteria): Demonstrated scientific expertise in the field of silviculture, evidenced by relevant international publications. Sound research experience on adaptation strategies of forest ecosystems to climate change, resilience, adaptation mechanisms or silvicultural measures.
