    100%, Zurich, fixed-term

    print Drucken

    The research topics of the group deal with various chemical and analytical aspects of healthy and sustainable foods and food systems. Individual research projects are centred around dietary fibres and associated small molecules, their occurrence, interactions, and other properties in foods during processing and digestion. Furthermore, the group has ongoing projects on fermentation, as well as assessment and optimization of new raw materials for food use. The work includes developing improved analytical methods for the analysis of these components and their reactions.

    Job description


    The group is looking for a doctoral student to work on a project related to the exploration and chemical characterization of grain-based food materials and their reactions esp. in low moisture systems. We seek for a highly motivated student with good skills in chemical analysis and solid understanding of food processing. In particular experience LC-MS, GC-MS and EPR in is considered a benefit, in addition to the other standard analytical techniques (GC, HPLC, NMR, FT-IR, measurements of physical properties). Furthermore, expertise in food processing and technology in general is considered an advantage. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the research topics the applicants should be motivated to adapt new techniques quickly.
