ISPT is looking for a: PhD student with Food Technology or Process engineering background

This project (screening of mild disclosure and fractionation techniques) is a collaboration between several industrial partners like: Unilever, Heineken, Cosun, DSM and contract research institutes, such as TNO. The project is composed of individual PhD projects, each focuses on different types of raw materials. For this specific PhD position, the specific raw materials under consideration barley and malt.

This position will be at Wageningen University, positioned in the department of Food Process Engineering and in close co-operation with the department of Food Chemistry. The project work should start with characterisation of the physico-chemical state, biochemical, physical-mechanical and techno-functional properties of different constituents in the raw materials under consideration, aimed at using the insights for selection of process principles, which will then be developed into the design of promising new, mild routes for processing of these raw materials.

To celebrate the University’s research successes, the University is offering 30 full-time PhD scholarships to UK and EU students, and 30 international fee bursaries to overseas students.

Applications are sought from suitably-qualified people wishing to pursue research leading to PhD status under the supervision of leading researchers.

Applicants will be expected to hold a minimum of a UK upper second class Honours degree, or equivalent, in an appropriate discipline.

PhD students at the University of Hull follow modules for research and transferable skills development and gain a Masters level Certificate, or Diploma, in Research Training, in addition to their research degree.

The Roslin Institute: Research Fellow
A postdoctoral research fellow is required to join the Faulkner group at The Roslin Institute. The project will involve characterisation of retrotransposition in the somatic cells of the human body, including assays of retrotransposition rate in embryonic stem cells, neural precursor cells and hepatocarcinomas. You will possess a PhD in Molecular Biology or closely related discipline and be prepared to pursue a research project with a large degree of autonomy and responsibility. You will also have advanced laboratory skills gained through extensive laboratory experience.
