    PhD candidate (m/f/d)

    to start on August 1, 2020 in the research project: Consecutive fungal and bacterial bioconversion for the production of fermentates with anti Gram-negative activity.

    The aim of this project is to produce high-quality fermentates with antimicrobial and anti-oxidative activity in a two-step, enzymatic-fermentative, sequential bioconversion of low-value agro-industrial by-products such as leek trimmings. You will be part of a collaborative project between the German Institute of Food Technology (DIL) and the University of Hannover.

    Areas of responsibility
    • Development of methods for physical pre-treatment of agro-industrial by-products.
    • Screening of lactic acid bacteria for their ability to convert phenolic fractions of agro-industrial by-products into metabolites of higher biological value.
    • Optimization of the production of high value metabolites by lactic acid bacteria.
    • Production of prototype fermentate(s).
    • Application of the fermentate(s) in meat products.
    • Statistical analysis of the results.
    • Preparation of experimental designs and performance of experimental studies.
    • Preparation of presentations and participation in project-related meetings with industrial partners.
    • Preparation of manuscripts for publication in international peer-reviewed journals.
    • Support of the daily work in our laboratories in cooperation with other colleagues and students.
    Your profile
    • Knowledge of lactic acid bacterial fermentation.
    • Knowledge of the physical treatment of food.
    • Good knowledge of basic statistical concepts.
    • Ability to organise and implement work plans independently.
    • A friendly personality who can work in a team that supports equality and diversity.
