Description
The Laboratory of Cereal Science and Technology is looking for a highly motivated M.Sc. student for a project focusing on coloured cereals.
Research group
As a Cereal Science and Technology Laboratory we focus our research efforts on unravelling and understanding the functionality of different cereal biopolymers in a wide range of cereal products. Hereto, several chemical, biochemical, physical and biophysical techniques are used to gain more insight in the molecular determinants at the basis of this functionality. Besides fundamental research, we also engage in more applied research projects usually carried out in close collaboration with industrial partners.
The research group of which the successful candidate will be part is a dynamic, young and ambitious team which is investing in high quality research, intensive training of students and close collaboration with industry and society.
Project
The newly appointed M.Sc. student will be involved in a multidisciplinary, industry and society-driven research project focusing on coloured cereals. The effect of processing on these cereals will be investigated using an array of novel, state-of-the-art techniques.
Profile
We are looking for an enthusiastic addition to our research team with the following qualifications:
- Holding a B.Sc. degree in a relevant field (such as (but not limited to) cereal chemistry, food chemistry, food biophysics or nutritional science)
- Demonstrating strong experience in chemical laboratory work
- Keen to integrate, collaborate and function in an international research team
- Interested in close collaboration with local industry
- Capable to work as an independent, critical and flexible researcher
- Open to think and work interdisciplinary
- Eager to publish in peer-reviewed journals and to deliver timely the required project reports in English
- Able to present research results at project meetings and conferences in English.
