Open positions for a postdoc and a researcher at Molecular Sciences, SLU, Sweden
23.5.2019Post Doc Food structure
SLU seeks a highly motivated researcher for a 2 year post-doc in food microstructures. The position has its base at the Department of Molecular Sciences, the food science unit. The department generates and conveys vital information about food composition and properties and its importance to our health. This is done in close collaboration with other researchers and stakeholders in the food chain, nationally and internationally. The department offers a creative and stimulating international environment, and is part of Uppsala BioCenter, a strong research environment for basic and applied research.
The research and education focuses on food composition and follows the food chain via preparation and processing of the raw materials. The composition, quality (sensory, health, safety) and functionality of food are considered in relation to primary production, processing for the interests of the individual consumer. The microstructure is affected by the physical and chemical environments and processing conditions. In this work the impact of microstructure on quality properties such as texture, barrier and release properties, etc. is of interest.
We welcome your application no later than 2019-06-24.

SLU is looking for a highly motivated researcher for a biomaterial and
food development focusing on how microstructures affect physical
properties. Development towards a sustainable society requires new
methods of producing materials and food. The position
is located at the Department of Molecular Sciences. We generate and
convey important information about the composition and properties of
food and biomaterials. The department is involved in teaching at
Bachelor’s as well as Master’s levels. The courses range
from food science and food technology to basic chemistry.
We welcome your application no later than 2019-05-24.
