Open Positions
The ETH Sustainable Food Processing group is looking for candidates:
Post-Doctoral Researcher – Innovative Meat Substitutes to Support Human Nutrition and Health
This is a joint project between the ETH Sustainable Food Processing, Nutrition and Metabolic Epigenetics, and Translational Nutrition Biology Group in the Department of Health Science & Technology (D-HEST).
This collaborative project aims to produce and evaluate potential nutritional and health benefits in meat substitutes. It is planned as a nucleus for a bigger initiative on this interdisciplinary topic.
The project objectives are two-fold: (i) to produce nutritious hybrid meat substitutes from diverse plant-based raw materials and based on nutritional needs and (ii) to quantify nutritional and health impacts of hybrid meat substitutes in vitro (human cellular systems) in a broader scope, and to link these in vitro results to targeted in vivo analyses.
The whole research is strongly aligned with Novel Protein Flagship initiative of the ETH World Food System Center and existing collaborations with several international partners, such as the Singapore ETH Centre SEC food lab.
