Opportunity summary

Official occupation: ph.d., naturvidenskab og teknik. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 30060946. Primary career market: Public Sector, Education & Impact (occupation evidence). Are you excited by the idea of using microbial engineering to build foods with better nutritional profiles from the inside out? Eager to work at the interface of nutrition science, genetics, and fermentation in a cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research environment? Curious about how the design choices we make now will shape a new global food category? Then join us as our new PhD Student in Molecular Nutrition and Strain Engineering! This position is a part of BRIGHT's mission- oriented Microbial Food research programme (“referred to as Mission 2”), which aims to build an AI-powered framework for the rational design of microbial foods that meet four targets: consumer acceptance, health, sustainability and scalability. The first phase focuses on two fungal chassis, Aspergillus and Yarrowia, characterizing more than 500 prototypes through multi-omics, sensory analysis, life-cycle assessment and safety testing. Predictive models for flavor, texture, nutrition and process scale-up are trained iteratively through active learning1 …
