The SDU FOODLAB at SDU Biotechnology, Department of Green Technology at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) invites applicants for a 24-month postdoctoral research fellowship in plant-based food imaging with an expected starting date of February 1st, 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter.
The position is part of a collaboration between SDU and Novozymes in a project aiming to understand the fundamentals of the texture of plant-based meat analogs at the microscopic level and how desired textural attributes such as juiciness and fibrillar structures take their origin at the microstructural level. The project will employ different advanced optical and fluorescence microscopy techniques to visualize and quantify the microstructural features of plant-based meat analogs and the effect of different enzymatic modifications. Further, it will involve rheological and physicochemical assessment and sensory description of the food matrices and enzyme treatments, among other techniques.
The project aims to bridge the fundamental understanding of food materials and future industrial applications. The main part of the project is to be carried out at SDU, while parts of the project will be carried out at the Novozymes facilities, allowing integration with both environments to gain expertise from both university and industry and to secure efficient knowledge transfer among partners.
The ideal scientific profile of the candidate has:
The candidate must expect to be working with all these areas during the project and we will ensure that sufficient training is provided in subjects where the candidate is less experienced.
Further, the candidate is expected to:
The SDU FOODLAB was established in 2019 and explores the fundamentals of the microstructures that underline food texture and develops new optical microscopy methods to unlock a structural scale previously inaccessible, intensing to build a hierarchical understanding of food matrices from the molecular scale to macroscopic. The lab offers modern facilities for food characterization, and advanced microscopy infrastructure via the imaging facility DaMBIC (http://www.dambic.dk/). The group consists of one associate professor, one assistant professor, and a handful of postdocs and PhD students, with diverse scientific backgrounds ranging between biophysics, chemistry, and food science. Within the group, there is flexibility to accommodate individual professional aspirations and career ambitions and we support professional development incl. teaching, supervision, and course participation.
The SDU FOODLAB is integrated within the young and aspiring Biotechnology section (SDU Biotech) offering complementary competencies within the biotechnology field.
Novozymes is a leading global supplier of biosolutions with an active research profile in the green transition of the food system. The project will bridge the core R&D as well as the food application area.
Exciting times – come join us!
