Have you ever wondered how organisms can survive in the ice of North pole and the peaks of Himalaya? How will these organisms preserve their molecular systems in the face of global warming? The group of Oriol Gallego (UPF) opens a 4-year microscopist PhD position to investigate the physical principles that underlie the adaptation of molecular systems in cells exposed to cold environments (cryosphere) and how they respond to climate change. The student will combine advanced imaging techniques to obtain in situ quantitative measurements in non-conventional yeast species. Some of the microscopy techniques employed are Single Molecule Localization Microscopy (SMLM), particle tracking and cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET).
