The position is part of HyCheese, HyCheese is a project funded by AgriFoodTure and the goal is stated as follows:
The overall goal of HyCheese is to create technological approaches and know-how to accelerate the development of a new generation of sustainable and affordable hybrid hard cheeses containing 40 to 80% plant proteins. We will combine food formulation, gastronomic science, cheese-making knowledge and new approaches to plant and cheese processing to produce tasty and appealing cheeses based on Nordic raw materials.
Partners: Københavns Universitet, DTU, Syddansk Universitet, Spora, KMC, Chr. Hansen, Novozymes, Foss Analytical, Arla, Thise
The successful candidate will start with the focus on analytical chemistry relating to functionality and flavor of plant-based- and dairy raw materials and hybrid cheeses. Specifically, the candidate will be translating spectroscopic signals from near infrared (NIR) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy into informative attributes describing the functionality. It will furthermore be ample possibility of combining these measurements with other analytical measurements that collaborators in the project will perform. The candidate is expected to do a certain amount of lab work including sample preparations and spectroscopic measurements, aroma extraction, including operating GC-MS and PTR-MS mass spectrometers, and is expected to be working approximately 67% at University of Copenhagen and 33% at Foss Analytical A/S. It is central that the candidate is skilled in data analysis and data interpretation.
The ideal candidate has the following competences and skills:
The postdoc’s duties will primarily include research within novel plant-based food systems, multivariate data analysis and spectroscopy, including obligations with regard to publication/scientific communication and research-based teaching. To a limited extent this may also include performance of other duties.
