Doctoral Researcher - Plant Protein Refining:

80%-100%, Zurich, fixed-term:

Project background:

The project on plant protein refining intends to achieve protein powders low in antinutrients, plain taste and flavour, and good functionality from pea and rapeseed using an innovative 'green' solvent system.

Suitable extraction conditions to remove antinutrients and approaches to recover the solvent to achieve a circular process need to be investigated.

The composition and functionality, i.e., gelling, foaming, and emulsification properties, of the recovered plant proteins will be studied in detail.

Job description:

We are looking for someone highly motivated to conduct research in innovative food process engineering topics. Several food engineering courses on thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical food processing are going to be supported.

You are going to have the chance to develop independent food process engineering initiatives, preferably in collaborative projects with our international/national research and/or industry partners.

Your profile:

You should have:
- excellent academic qualifications,
- very good communication skills,
- a Strong self-motivation.

We are looking for:
- a team player,
