Frederiksberg C
The Department of Food Science, Section of Ingredient and Dairy Technology invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in processing of dairy-plant hybrid systems, which is part of the research project “PILAF”, which is financed by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and Arla Foods.
Start date is (expected to be) 1 January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project
Current trends point to an increased use of plant resources in food products due to their supposedly lower environmental impact, while the global demand for milk and dairy products remains high because of their excellent nutritional and functional properties. A possible compromise for this dilemma could be hybrid products, i.e., novel foods that are comprised of both dairy and plant-based components, which could satisfy the nutritional and sensory needs of the consumers while also decreasing the environmental impact of the products.
The project aims at generating new knowledge about liquid and fermented hybrid (plant-dairy) matrices through a mechanistic approach for identifying synergistic and/or antagonistic interactions between the individual plant and/or dairy components during processing.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for candidates within the field(s) of food science, biotechnology, or related.
The preferred candidate has qualifications within one or more of the following fields:
Our group and research- and what do we offer?
We offer creative and stimulating working conditions in dynamic and international research environment. The PhD student will join the research group Food Proteins, which is a part of the Section Ingredients and Dairy Technology at the Department of Food Science, University of Copenhagen, and located at the Frederiksberg campus. The research group has a strong expertise in qualitative and quantitative analyses of processing-induced protein modification with access to state-of-the-art research infrastructure. The project will be carried out in close collaboration with researchers at Arla Foods and will include practical work at both University of Copenhagen and the Arla Innovation Centre in Skejby.
Principal supervisor is Associate Professor Mahesha Manjunatha Poojary, Department of Food Science, [email protected], phone: +45 35 32 64 04
Co-supervisor and project leader is Assistant Professor Norbert Raak, Department of Food Science, [email protected], phone: +45 35 33 05 21

For information of eligibility of completed programmes, see General assessments for specific countries and Assessment database.
Terms of employment in the regular programme
Employment as PhD fellow is full time and for maximum 3 years.
Employment is conditional upon your successful enrolment as a PhD student at the PhD School at the Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen. This requires submission and acceptance of an application for the specific project formulated by the applicant.
