Frederiksberg C
Department of Food Science, Section for Ingredient and Dairy Technology, invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in rapeseed protein purification with the aim to isolate proteins, cruciferin and napin, through gentle processing from seeds and press cake of rapeseeds. The position starts 1/7-2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The student will be enrolled at University of Copenhagen and be affiliated with the Food Proteins group.
Further information about the Department can be found at http://www.food.ku.dk/english/ and the Food Proteins group at https://food.ku.dk/english/research_at_food/research-groups/food_proteins_group/.
The project and what we offer
The PhD position is part of ‘SEEDFOOD: Functional and palatable plant seed storage proteins for sustainable foods’ project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The primary partners in SEEDFOOD are University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and University of Le Mans in France (ULM). The project coordinator is Professor Marianne Nissen Lund, Department of Food Science, UCPH.
SEEDFOOD will serve as multi-disciplinary centre in which you as young scientist will benefit from training and joint supervision by principal investigators. We expect some mobility between labs and partners. You will be part of an international dynamic research environment founded on knowledge sharing, high scientific ambitions and cross-disciplinary synergy. We focus on active career development of junior researchers, and offer coaching/mentoring activities across the centre.
The vision of SEEDFOOD is to accelerate the transition from animal- to plant-based food proteins for sustainable food production and consumption. We will achieve this by tailoring plant protein ingredients towards superior functional, palatable, and nutritional properties through novel protein design and in-depth understanding of molecular interactions in the food matrix.
We will use rapeseed protein to expand the scientific foundation necessary for the use of seed storage proteins for foods. Rapeseed is a protein-rich crop used for industrial oil production. It is farmed on a large scale in e.g. Europe and may be utilized in new food types locally across the globe. In SEEDFOOD we will create knowledge to sustainably transform the poor functionality of plant seed storage proteins and rationally tailor protein performance for future food design.
Scientific themes in SEEDFOOD encompass: gentle and sustainable processing to isolate seed proteins; improvement of protein surface characteristics through enzyme treatments; biophysics of protein structures and molecular interactions; functionality and palatability in model foods.
