Food Culture Assistant
1 day ago
Are you passionate about food and flavour? Eager to help tackle some of our most pressing global challenges? Excited by the idea of working and learning at the intersection of science, cooking, sustainability, and food culture in a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research environment? Then join us as our new Food Culture Assistant
The Sustainable Food Innovation Group (SFI) was founded in 2021 to address interconnected food systems challenges - diminishing diversity, inequitable production and distribution, knowledge privatisation, nutritional depletion, blandness - through interdisciplinary research, product development, and knowledge-sharing. We recently launched our website and Instagram, where we share knowledge and facilitate public engagement around fermentation, food innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinarity. We are looking for a Food Culture Assistant to join our team to support the management of these platforms and assist other creative forms of public engagement and food cultural research projects.
The job
As SFI's Food Culture Assistant you will:
- Support day-to-day management of our Instagram account and building up of our social media presence, in collaboration with team members
- Support management and development of our website
- Write articles for our website, including documentation of our culinary R&D
- Assist with food cultural research project management, as well as potential support with literature reviews, interviews, and qualitative data processing
- Support creative dissemination of our work, for example through the development of a series of zines
Our expectations of you
You will have some experience with basic website maintenance and social media, particularly Instagram, and some relevant experience with writing for a general audience.
You will have excellent written English. If you know some Danish that is a plus but it is not mandatory.
You will have skills navigating academic papers, and a Bachelor's or Master's in a relevant discipline or equivalent experience. The tasks and salary level will be adjusted according to your degree level and experience. Please elaborate on your educational background and experience in your cover letter.
The ideal candidate will also:
- Have basic knowledge about food science, food microbiology, fermentation, food systems, and sustainability issues
- Have some experience making fermentations, traditional and/or novel
- Be able to work independently and with others
- Be systematic, organised, and a clear communicator
- Be comfortable in an interdisciplinary environment
- Be creative and interested in non-traditional forms of research and communications including engagement with the arts and futures thinking
- Be patient, charitable, and playful (key qualities for interdisciplinary work)
- Have basic photography and photo editing skills
- Be excited to learn any of these knowledges and/or skills they may not yet have

DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice. We offer an engaging and rewarding job in an international, cutting-edge research environment. We place great emphasis on personal and professional development, so there will be ample opportunities for skills development and continuing education as part of the position, according to your career goals.
