Master thesis on the topic „Optimization of pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment in liquid food products” |
Aim of the work is to evaluate suitability of different electrode materials (other than existing steel or titanium) to minimize electrode erosion and electrolytical reactions occurring at the interfaces of the electrodes during processing of food. The first phase of the experimental work has been done and few suitable electrode materials have been tested and chosen in a long-term study. These selected materials should be further tested under different processing conditions and with different model/food matrixes (e.g. pH, electrical conductivity, viscosity etc.).
The work is part of the European research and innovation project FOX: Innovative down-scaled FOod processing in a boX (https://www.fox-foodprocessinginabox.eu/). The goal of the project is development of a mobile fruit and vegetable processing unit for mild extraction and preservation, including Pulsed Electric Fields. For potential improvement of down-scaled unit performance with respect to product quality and treatment efficiency, exploration of new electrode materials is foreseen.
We offer possibility for independent working on the project in the duration of 6 to 12 months in the area of novel food technologies in an innovative, international and exciting working environment.
Expected start is from July 2022, with certain flexibility.
Then we look forward to receiving your CV, contact details and the earliest possible starting date, preferably by email

Doktorial Student (m/w/d) to work on a project on the topic „Data Scientist / Database Manager for Interoperability Platform“ |
We offer the possibility of independently handling a 2-year project (with the possibility of extension) in the field of data science in an innovative and exciting environment.
Future food systems lack holistic databases and data platform allowing to interchange and operate data for the development of predictive and holistic analytical models.
Development of data plant form for the interoperation of data between different ontologies is the main task for the position within EU funded project GiantLeaps.
The details of the project will be discussed in further consultation.
Then we look forward to receiving your CV and motivation letter as well as the earliest possible starting date, preferably by E-Mail.

Doctoral Student (m/w/x) to work on a project on the topic: „Life Cycle Assessment of Alternative Protein Sources“ |
We offer the possibility of independently handling a 2-year project (with the possibility of extension) in the field of life cycle assessment in an innovative and exciting environment.
Future food systems depend on the development of future foods based on alternative protein sources. There are some strategies that can improve the sustainability of alternative protein sources.
At the same time there is a limited information on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of alternative protein sources for the justified conclusions.
The proposed position is aimed to deal with the limitations indicated above in the scope of EU funded project GiantLeaps.
The details of the project will be discussed in further consultation.
Then we look forward to receiving your complete application documents, including the earliest possible starting date, preferably by e-mail
