POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER

for a fixed-term appointment for five (5) years, starting as agreed.

FooDrug aims at high standards in quality, safety, acceptability and sustainability of emerging technologies in food and medication production, including promising yet contested alteration of an organism’s genome for agri-food and pharmaceutical applications. Addressing food and nutritional security requires novel ways of producing sustainable, safe, affordable, healthy and flavourful food.(For more postdoctoral recruitment information, visit:boshihoujob.com) Europe alone faces numerous challenges related to the rise in obesity, accessibility of high-quality foods, the impacts of climate change on food systems, and the social, cultural and regulatory requirements for the transition to sustainable diets. Similarly, drug and medication security are challenged by the high costs of development, manufacture and distribution, evaluation of preclinical safety and efficacy, and the dependence of drug manufacturing on international supply chains. FooDrug focuses on tackling these challenges by uniting research across 9 units: the Faculties of Agriculture and Forestry, Pharmacy, Educational Sciences, Law, Science, Social Sciences, Veterinary Medicine and Medicine, and the Institute of Biotechnology (a core unit of HiLIFE).

The candidate

The Faculty of Law seeks a motivated candidate with a strong interest in the regulation of food and/or medication security and sustainability.

The position is open to applicants with a PhD degree in law with a topic that gives a good background for a post doc in this area.

The post doc is expected to present a research plan in legal regulation of food and/or drug safety. The plan may tackle the challenges from any field of law, such as consumer protection, product safety, intellectual property law, regulation of supply chains, and at any level of regulation (national, European law or international law).

The post doc will be part of the interdisciplinary group of FooDrug, as well as Faculty of Law. The applicant should have good communication skills and willingness to work both independently and as part of a team within a multidisciplinary research environment.

The candidate is expected to have pedagogical skills and willingness to teach in the Faculty’s teaching programmes. A post doc teaches normally two courses per academic year.
