The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) explores the structure and dynamics of soft and biological matter using state-of-the-art neutron scattering and complementary techniques. At the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching near Munich we, the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science – Neutron Methods (JCNS-4), operate a suite of advanced, high performance neutron scattering instruments.
FZ Juelich is looking for a highly motivated Postdoc to join the "Sustainable food colloids group" under supervision of Dr. Heiden-Hecht within the project: “PROMULSION – Plant protein blends to improve emulsification properties”. This project is a collaboration with Frauenhofer Institute IVV and Food Industry. Your tasks in detail:
- Work in the before-mentioned project „PROMULSION“
- Work at the cutting-edge of research onto plant proteins for sustainable food, using laboratory methods such as HPLC, interfacial rheology, drop tensiometry as well as characterization techniques like X-ray and Neutron scattering
- Prepare, execute and evaluate experiments in the above-mentioned techniques
- Draft, improve and prompt manuscripts and presentations at international conferences
- Ideally applying for third party projects
