1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Developing a Fungal Phenotype Genotype Relationships in Novel Foods
Summary of PhD Program:
Our current food production system is relying on animal and plant-derived proteins. Filamentous fungi may hold great potential to support the green transition of our diets. They can be utilized for the creation of delicious food products. Their features such as enzyme secretion, texture and flavour are critical for the development of sustainable foods. Join us in our endeavor to develop relationships between fungal traits important for the food production of tomorrow and their genome. You will be working in a highly motivated and dedicated team of researchers in an inspiring and interdisciplinary environment and research network in order to tackle this challenge.
