Overview
Department of Food Science wishes to appoint a Ph.D. fellow in Design of stable probiotic bacteria cultures for new functional food for a periode of 3 years from 1st September 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The project is conducted in close collaboration with Chr. Hansen A/S.
Job description
With reference to the project manager, the work of the Ph.D. fellow will consist mainly of duties in connection with research and development within chemical and physical processes related to stability and vitality of freeze dried probiotic bacteria formulation. Instability of dry lactic acid bacteria formulations effectively limits the types and use of ingredient and foods. The project will comprise 3 subprojects: i) Manipulation of the chemical composition and properties of bacteria with emphasis on the phospholipid membrane. ii) Development of oxidation sensitive microscopy methods pertinent to dry and wet bacteria systems. iii) Investigation of the causes of cell death.
The appointee should have documented qualifications and interest in the following areas:
Chemistry and physics of food and biomaterials
Analytical Techniques
Microbiology
Bio-imaging
Qualification requirements
In connection with the appointment to the post special importance will be attached to the applicant having the professional and personal qualifications stated below:
Passed Master´s degree in relation to the above subject area(s)
The Ph.D. fellow is also required to have research potential, to be enterprising and to possess good interpersonal skills.
Terms of employment
The post will be filled according to the Agreement between the Danish Ministry of Finance and the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The post is covered by the Protocol on Job Structure.
The position as Ph.D. fellow requires the applicant to be approved for admission to the Ph.D. programme at LIFE when accepted for the post.
Questions
For further information about the post, please contact project manager, Jens Risbo on tel.(+45) 35 33 32 24 , jri@life.ku.dk
General questions regarding Ph.D. programmes should be directed to Course Administration c/o special advisor Michael Cleve Hansen, tel. + 45 3533 2056 or head clerk Lillian Zeuthen Bjørnseth on tel. +45 3533 2172 . Further information on Ph.D. programmes is available at www.life.ku.dk/English >Education > PhD Education > Regulations.
Application
The application should be submitted in 2 (sorted) copies; therefore it´s not possible to receive the application by e-mail. The application must include a reply e-mail address. Each application must include the following appendices marked with the stated appendix numbers:
Appendix 1: curriculum vitae with documentation of education.
Appendix 2: material required for expert assessment.
In addition to the material the applicant wishes to be included in the assessment, the Assessment Committee may include further material in their assessment of the applicant. In such circumstances, it is the responsibility of the applicant, on request, to send the material to the Committee.
Following processing of the application, any application material sent will be destroyed.
Receipt of the application will not be acknowledged, but the applicant will be kept continuously informed of the progress of the application.
The applicant will be assessed according to the Ministry of Science Technology and Innovation Executive Order no 284 of 25. April 2008.
The application, marked 625/05123-261 should be sent to The Faculty of Life Sciences, Department of Food Science, Rolighedsvej 30 , 1958 Frederiksberg C, where it must be received no later than 12th August 2010 at 12.00 noon. Applications received after the closing date for applications will not be considered.
