Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in "Environmental planning and restoration in the drylands of Latin America" 

ReForLan project
ReForLan (Restoration of forest landscapes for biodiversity conservation and rural development in the drylands of Latin America) is a research project funded by the European Commission (International Cooperation Specific Measures, INCO/DEV). It aims to identify and promote approaches for the sustainable management of dryland forest ecosystems. It is based on a programme of multi-disciplinary research analyzing how restoration of degraded lands can be achieved in a way that mitigates the effects of unsustainable land use practices, contributes to conservation of biodiversity, and supports the development of rural livelihoods. The project focuses on achieving a strong link between technological, management and policy research. ReForLan is a network of ten research institutions in Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Spain, U.K., and Italy.

Vacancy
Within ReForLan there is a vacancy at the University of Trento, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (http://www.ing.unitn.it/dica/eng) for a Postdoctoral fellow. This position is available for a total period of 2 years (full-time), with intermediate assessment moments. The preferred starting date is September 2007. 

Research topic
The research aims at developing and testing approaches to restore degraded drylands that benefit both local communities and the natural world. Emphasis will be given to the interaction between biophysical parameters, socio-economic variables and natural resources exploitation patterns. The study will entail the following stages: - Analysis of the relationship between drylands degradation and livelihood systems; 
-        Stakeholder and local community consultation;
- Identification of priority areas for ecosystem restoration interventions; 
-        Setting-up of decision support tools;
- Application to one or more case study areas in Mexico, Chile and Argentina.
