Postdoc position – plant-based protein ingredients in foods
Aarhus Universitet
The Department of Food Science, Aarhus University (Denmark), invites applications for a 3 year 9 month postdoc position within food physics and protein chemistry, in particular plant-based protein functionality in food matrices and interaction with other food components. The starting date is 15. June, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.To respond to some of the most critical societal changes of the next decade, we need to explore more sustainable food ingredients to replace more CO2 heavy ones. Food functionality ingredients play a significant role in building structure and providing texture by gelation, foaming and emulsification in a wide range of food matrices, which in food production can be provided by plant-based proteins, alone or in combination. We are looking for a successful, competent and motivated candidate, who will develop and support the research project at the intersection of protein chemistry, food physics and functional properties.The Postdoc position is part of the Food technology group at the Department of Food Science and may also include teaching and dissemination activities, as well as supervision of students. You are expected to complement and grow your expertise, and to actively participate and deliver on projects carried out in one of the most dynamic groups in food science at Aarhus University. You will have many opportunities to connect with other research partners, and collaborate with PhD and other post doctoral fellows, in cross-disciplinary collaborations with other research groups both national and international as well as with industrial partners.Qualifications
