Job Description:
We are seeking a talented PhD researcher to join our team at the Department of Molecular Sciences at SLU. As a PhD student, you will be working on a project that aims to characterise various Nordic crops proteins in combination with dietary fibres and other food ingredients.

This is an excellent opportunity to work on interdisciplinary research bridging between physico-chemical properties of protein and fibres to their impacts in foods on nutrition and health. You will have the chance to collaborate with our industrial partners and contribute to the development of responsive materials based on protein and polysaccharides.

The main objectives of this PhD project are to systematically characterise the impact of processing techniques on the (micro) structure as well as viscosity/texture of model products. You will also establish the relationship between these characteristics and the in vitro digestibility of the proteins with or without the combination of dietary fibres and other food ingredients relate to bioavailability of micronutrients.

To be successful in this role, you should hold a Master's degree in chemistry, physics, materials science, food technology, food science, biotechnology or similar. Experience in microscopy and rheology is highly desirable. Personal qualities such as sense of responsibility and ability to independently perform duties as part of a research team will be valued. Mandatory experiences and skills include experimental laboratory work, scientific writing skills and ability to work in interdisciplinary projects.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please submit your application with your CV, degree certificate, transcript of records and two personal references. We look forward to hearing from you.
