We are seeking a highly skilled researcher to join our team at Danmarks Tekniske Universitet. As a PhD student, you will have the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of protein chemistry and sensory science.

The project aims to innovate sustainable and nutritious plant-based food products by leveraging non-soy legumes. Our principal objective is to engineer a new type of plant-based high-protein food products that will enrich dietary diversity and facilitate consumer transition towards more plant-based proteins.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Assessing the protein functionality of new plant proteins
  • Employing novel approaches in functionality modification
  • Utilizing microbial fermentation techniques to convert non-soy legume substrates
  • Undertaking comprehensive nutritional analyses to ensure that the new plant proteins fulfill essential dietary requirements

The successful candidate will have a strong background in protein chemistry and sensory science, and experience in food innovation and teaching is preferable.

We offer a full-time PhD position for 3 years, starting from April 1, 2025. The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
