To achieve this, I will harness my 4-year experience working primarily with reindeer-plant interaction in tundra and boreal forests. I\u2019m excited to be part of CHARTER and looking forward to learning from the exciting research conducted by my colleagues at the different work packages.&nbsp;&nbsp;Feel free to drop me a line by email if you would like to know me better or to set up new and exciting collaborations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2613\" src=\"https:\/\/blogi.eoppimispalvelut.fi\/charterarctic\/files\/2023\/11\/213402F3-69C0-4356-82F8-543FEBA30977-800x450.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2613\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charter-arctic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_4191-600x800.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2612\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charter-arctic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/IMG_7256-600x800.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2614\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption wp-element-caption\">Juan-Ignacio Ramirez send us some photos of himself conducting field work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Juan-Ignacio is transitioning to Troms\u00f8 from the University of Ume\u00e5 where he was working as a researcher and he completed his PhD, &#8220;Wild ungulates as forest engineers&#8221; at the University of Wageningen, in the Netherlands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=9yQUBbIAAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao\">https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=9yQUBbIAAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=a<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CHARTER project may be entering its final year, but there is still time to squeeze in one more PostDoc (likely the projects last!).
