fieldwork, operating scientific equipment, managing databases, conducting statistical analyses, and publishing protocols and results. In addition, the candidate will need to communicate with local stakeholders (e.g., associations and forestry officials) and, in English, with a network of international collaborators who will contribute knowledge and data to the study.
