hela Sverige RISE is the Swedish Research Institute and innovation partner. In international collaboration with industry, academia and the public sector, we ensure the competitiveness of the business community and contribute to a sustainable society. RISE is an independent, state-owned research institute that offers unique expertise and about 100 testbeds and demonstration facilities, instrumental in future-proofing technologies, products and services. Product Design and Perception is part of RISE Agrifood and Bioscience and consists of 25 persons who design biological structures with specific properties, mainly for future innovative and healthy food, but also for the pharma and hygiene area and for other technical applications. Many projects deal with aroma, taste and texture, and how this is related to other product properties, to processing and raw materials.
About the position
We are looking for a post doc in food science with focus on structure and material properties. The position is specifically connected to a three -years FORMAS funded research project: "Natural texturisers for easy swallowing _ Plant polysaccharides role on food swallowability in a biomimetic throat and in vivo". The project work is done in close cooperation with KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. You will be part of an international and multidisciplinary team of experts in soft materials science, fluid mechanics, sensory and consumer science. We are interested in understanding how different polysaccharides present in plant materials such as fruits, cereals and algae behaved under swallowing conditions. As a post doc in this project your main task will be to analyze rheological properties of different plant polysaccharides using rheometers and a biomechanical throat. You will plan measurements, prepare samples, perform measurements, evaluate results and compile the results into scientific publications. Our aim is to aid design of foods for populations with specific needs such as swallowing disorders.
Qualifications
The applicant must hold a doctoral degree (Ph. D) preferably in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Food Science or equivalent. Experience in rheology and microscopy techniques such as confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM) is a merit.
Position and start date
We offer a fixed-period employment of one year placed in Gothenburg. Applications will be evaluated continuously, and the start date will be agreed with the successful applicant.
Contact and application
If this sounds interesting and you want to know more, feel free to contact the project manager Patricia Lopez-Sanchez, +46 10 516 67 25. The deadline for applications is May 14th 2019. Selection and interviews are done on an ongoing basis, and the position may be appointed before the final application date.
