This firm post is part of a project funded by BBSRC, which is delivered in partnership with Adamo Foods, to develop inverted fungal iron for human nutrition.

A successful candidate will work with ADAMO FOODS to improve fermentation parameters to enhance fungal biomass and nutritional quality, and apply advanced analytical culture and analytical cells.

Candidates must have a PhD (or equivalent) in food science, nutrition, or relevant discipline, with experience in the laboratory digestion, especially the use of fixed digestive model, food analysis (minerals, proteins/amino acids and fibers), and techniques in examining food composition. Experience with cell culture methods is desirable. Strong communication skills, initiative, adherence to the project and the ability to work in a cooperative way are necessary.

Joining NCDL provides the opportunity to contribute to the leading research in the laboratory and vital availability of nutrients, and work with the latest facilities and strong partnerships in the industry to provide influential human nutrition solutions.
