Frederiksberg C
The Department of Food Science is offering a PhD fellowship in Food Microbiology and Fermentation. Start date is expected to be 1 September 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
The successful candidate will be part of the research project “Data-driven design of synergistic microbial communities targeting high-quality plant-based food (MiCoP)”. The project is funded by the Novo Nordic Foundation - Plant2Food and carried out together with University of Wageningen, The Netherlands and several industrial partners. The overall goal of the project is the use of fermentation to enhance taste and nutritional properties of plant based food. Specifically, the project aims to introduce an AI framework to design microbial cultures for fermentation of Nordic varieties of pulses and to fulfil scientific knowledge gaps.
The candidate will specifically focus on microbial interactions with plant-based materials, genomic diversity and the ability of microorganisms to improve flavour and remove antinutrients.
