PhD Position in Food Science

Home PhD PhD Position in Food Science & Technology, Malaga, Spain PhD Position in Food Science: The metal food packaging industry has long relied on coatings, particularly epoxy resins based on bisphenol A (BPA), to maintain the nutritional and organoleptic properties of preserved foods by preventing corrosion. However, BPA poses significant health and environmental risks. This PhD project aims to develop sustainable and safe alternatives using tomato pomace, a by-product of the fruit processing industry, to create biologically sourced coatings for cans. These new coatings will be enhanced with microcrystalline cellulose and gallate esters for improved mechanical strength, antibacterial properties, and antioxidant capabilities. The project will compare these innovative coatings with traditional BPA resins, focusing on their properties, environmental impact, and production costs.PhD Student Position in Food Science & TechnologyDesignation: PhD StudentResearch Area: Sustainable, Bioactive, Antioxidant, and Reinforced Lacquers from Tomato Pomace for Food Metal PackagingBachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chemistry, Food Science, or a related field .Desirable experience in polymer science and/or food packaging.Job Description:The successful candidate will:Conduct research on developing sustainable and bioactive lacquers from tomato pomace for use in food metal packaging.Compare the properties of these new coatings with traditional BPA-based resins.Evaluate the environmental impact and production costs of the new manufacturing process.Work with environmentally friendly and scalable technologies to achieve the desired coating characteristics.How to Apply:Interested candidates should:Send their application to ja.heredia@csic.es.Include the following in a single PDF document:Letter of motivationTwo reference contactsLast Date to Apply: 15 September 2024Take this opportunity to contribute to innovative research in food science and technology while advancing your academic career in a dynamic and supportive environment.

Vendors want your permission to do the following:Store and/or access information on a deviceAdvertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).Create profiles for personalised advertisingInformation about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.Use profiles to select personalised advertisingAdvertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sourcesReports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.Ensure security, prevent and detect fraud, and fix errorsYour data can be used to monitor for and prevent unusual and possibly fraudulent activity (for example, regarding advertising, ad clicks by bots), and ensure systems and processes work properly and securely. It can also be used to correct any problems you, the publisher or the advertiser may encounter in the delivery of content and ads and in your interaction with them.Deliver and present advertising and contentCertain information (like an IP address or device capabilities) is used to ensure the technical compatibility of the content or advertising, and to facilitate the transmission of the content or ad to your device.The choices you make regarding the purposes and entities listed in this notice are saved and made available to those entities in the form of digital signals (such as a string of characters). This is necessary in order to enable both this service and those entities to respect such choices.Match and combine data from other data sourcesInformation about your activity on this service may be matched and combined with other information relating to you and originating from various sources (for instance your activity on a separate online service, your use of a loyalty card in-store, or your answers to a survey), in support of the purposes explained in this notice.In support of the purposes explained in this notice, your device might be considered as likely linked to other devices that belong to you or your household (for instance because you are logged in to the same service on both your phone and your computer, or because you may use the same Internet connection on both devices).Vendors can use your data to provide services. Declining a vendor can stop them from using the data you shared.Google Advertising ProductsData collected and processed: IP addresses, Device identifiers, Browsing and interaction data, Device characteristics, User-provided data, Privacy choices, Non-precise location data, Users’ profiles, Authentication-derived identifiers
