About the position
Job Offer: PhD Position at University of the Balearic Islands
The PhD project will investigate the natural evolution and functional diversification of the CO₂-fixing enzyme Rubisco in extremophile photosynthetic organisms.
The work will explore how environmental extremes—such as temperature stress, water limitation, salinity, and CO₂ availability—have shaped Rubisco performance across evolutionary lineages.
The project combines plant and microbial ecophysiology, enzymology, and evolutionary biology to understand how photosynthetic organisms adapt their carbon fixation machinery to extreme environments.
