What is Pyrolife about?
Learn more about this European project that pursues cross-disciplinary, wildfire-focused research.
Towards an Integrated Fire Management
Pooja Pandey (ESR13) is the author of this article published in IAWF’s online magazine, Wildfire. This article examines the new ways to live with fire rather only than finding ways to escape it.
PyroLife Recruitment Rubric and Best Practices
This document describes the open, transparent, merit-based recruitment process that was developed to select 15 Early Stage Researchers (PhD candidates) for the PyroLife Innovative Training Network (EU-MSCA actions grant nr. 860787). The aim of this procedure was to provide an overall framework for hire that was adapted locally in response to designated University and/or local legal requirements on hiring if required.
So far, Wageningen University adapted it to hire one PhD candidate and it was also adapted to recruit three tenure track assistant professors. VU University Amsterdam used it for a PhD position, and it was also shared with another ITN. We would love to hear from you if you use this for your own purposes.
Incidents within Incidents: Social perspectives on the global pandemic and wildfire
Several PyroLife early stage researchers and supervisors have co-authored an article recently published in IAWF’s online magazine, Wildfire. This article examines the convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic with the 2020 fire season through a social science lens.
