Frederiksberg C
The Department of Food Science, Section for Food Design and Consumer Behaviour, invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Contextual effects on consumer choice behavior.
Start date is expected to be February 1st 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
The PhD is part of a Novo Nordisk funded project led by Associate Professor Qian Janice Wang. Overall, the project aims to promote consumer behaviour change towards more sustainable food choices and consumption. Specifically, the PhD project will use a combination of virtual/physical retail spaces and biometric technology (e.g., eyetracking) to better understand and predict consumer food choice behaviour in both online and offline scenarios. A focus will be to manipulate context, defined as multisensory environmental elements as well as cognitive messaging, to study implicit and explicit consumer reactions and purchase behaviour. This research will help address the need to understand the drivers to shift consumer habits towards healthier and lower planetary footprint diets.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of food science, experimental psychology, behavioural sciences, cognitive neuroscience, marketing, or similar. It is an advantage to have previous work or research experience with human subjects in behavioural experiments. Experience with Virtual Reality or biometric methods (e.g., eyetracking, facial expression analysis, EEG) is also an advantage. The candidate should have a curious and creative mind-set with a strong interest to learn new disciplines and technologies. It is also necessary to possess excellent data analysis, communication, presentation, and academic writing skills in English.
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The Food Design and Consumer Behaviour (DCB) section is part of the Department of Food Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. We are located in Copenhagen.
The Department of Food Science is recognized for excellence in food research, education, and industrial collaboration. The DCB section is a cross-disciplinary research group integrating natural sciences and technology as well as sensory and behavioural sciences to support the development and consumption of palatable, healthy, and sustainable foods. Within the DCB section, the Sensory Science and Consumer Behaviour group has an extensive research expertise within sensory food quality assessment and the methodologies for sensory evaluation of foods. Furthermore, it has in-depth understanding of the sensory and non-sensory determinants of food preferences from early life to adulthood, and the changes in perception and preferences occurring in ageing. Over recent years, the group expanded the research focus from supporting the development of palatable healthy and nutritious foods, to the study of consumers views on sustainable foods and how to achieve behavioral changes towards more sustainable food choices and consumption.
We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. Our research facilities include modern sensory laboratories and the Future Consumer Lab.
