Postdoctoral position: Evolutional and Functional Diversity of Rubisco in Extremophile Photosynthetic Organisms University of the Balearic Islands in Spain

The University of the Balearic Islands offers a PhD position focused on the evolution and functional diversification of Rubisco, the CO₂-fixing enzyme, in extremophile photosynthetic organisms. This research aims to uncover how environmental extremes such as temperature stress, water limitation, salinity, and CO₂ availability have influenced Rubisco performance across evolutionary lineages. The project integrates plant and microbial ecophysiology, enzymology, and evolutionary biology to understa...
