Research Fellow in Plant Proteins Extrusion

University of Leeds

Job Description

Are you an ambitious researcher looking for your next challenge? Do you have a strong background in food science/technology at PhD level? Do you have experience in protein functionality and processing? Do you want to further your career in one of the UKs leading research intensive Universities and also work with an exciting and dynamic company to develop novel plant-based foods for the future funded by Innovate U?.

This project addresses key SDGs (sustainable development goals): good health and well-being, zero hunger, responsible and sustainable consumption and production, and climate change. It aims to develop an innovative delicious sustainably, locally produced whole foods plant-based alternative to a beef patty using UK sourced products from the agri-food sector. The growth in the plant-based food sector has largely been driven by the mainstream emergence of the 'flexitarian' consumer as well as increased numbers of vegetarians and vegans, as consumers respond to a combination of ethical, environmental and health concerns. This project seeks to address the flexitarian market by creating a plant-based burger alternative that appeals to beef burger-eaters by having a flavour, texture, aroma and properties that are near indistinguishable from beef patty. The post-holder would be expected to translate lab-findings to pilot plant production and help plan and launch full-scale production. As such, you must be able to communicate with scientists on the physicochemical aspects, production engineers and marketeers working with Dr. Alan J. Hernandez-Alvarez- PI (expert in plant proteins) and Dr. Evi Paximada (expert in electrospinning).

The University of Leeds has an opportunity for you to get involved in a project to develop, test and commercialise an innovative plant-based product for the emerging plant-based market. You will be working in collaboration with STARS, ENOUGH and the School of Food Science and Nutrition.

The UK companies are engaged in a joint research program with the University of Leeds to develop a plant-based patty made using sustainably regionally grown whole foods, matching the taste, texture and aroma of beef along with matching price parity within a decade. The post-holder will be working with the University of Leeds and STARS® to help develop the company’s expertise around food chemistry, novel proteins and their functionality and help bring a product to market that will appeal to anyone and everyone – meat-reducers, vegans, vegetarians and flexitarians, among others.
