Daniel Zuleta

Job alert from the University of Gothenburg : two research positions are open with Daniel Zuleta and his team as part of the ERC project TWIG . The openings are for one PhD student (4 years) and one postdoc (3 years) to study the drivers and consequences of branch dynamics in tropical forests . The research is highly quantitative and uses multi-temporal terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) together with other forest methods. The work includes substantial fieldwork in two major tropical forest systems: the Colombian Amazon and the Brazilian Atlantic Forest . This makes the positions especially relevant for candidates interested in forest ecology , carbon dynamics , quantitative ecology, and remote sensing / TLS-based forest measurements. Eligibility details in the post are limited, but the PhD advert is described as a doctoral student in biology with focus on tropical forest ecology and carbon dynamics . The postdoc is similarly aligned with the same research theme and quantitative approach. Applications are due 19 November 2026 and must be submitted via the University recruitment portal only . Separate links are provided for the PhD and postdoc applications.
