R&T SCIENTIST IN STRUCTURE – FUNCTION STUDY OF SOLUBLE DIETARY FIBRES (m/f)

Fixed term contract | Belvaux | 24 MonthsAre you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join usThe Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a leading Research and Technology Organisation (RTO) that drives innovation for the economy and society in Luxembourg and beyond. With cutting-edge expertise in Natural, Built, Industrial environments, Space, AI, Security and defence technologies. LIST bridges scientific excellence and applied research to design solutions that address real-world challenges and create positive impact. Do you want to know more about LIST? Check our website: https://www.list.lu /How will you contribute?As part of the Biotechnology Unit, and particularly the Bioformulation Group, you will contribute to the machine learning assisted structure-function study of soluble dietary fibres (galactomannans) isolated from underexplored leguminous seed bioresources in the framework of the ENTANGLE FNR funded project. You will develop clean label procedures to extract and isolate galactomannans from forage legume seed biomass such as alfalfa and clover. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to determine the technofunctional and prebiotic potential of native and enzymatically modified derivatives benchmarked to commercial biopolymer targets.As a Postdoctoral Researcher, you will mainly be responsible for:• Extracting, isolating and purifying galactomannans from forage legume seeds• Enzymatically tailor the chemical structure and technofunctional profile of native galactomannans• Determine the structure conformational, technological and prebiotic potential of the native and modified galactomannans and• Promoting and disseminating your research work through high-quality scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, oral and poster presentations in conferences, and patents.If you are specialised in food biopolymers, colloids science, and/or food process engineering, with a strong foundation in soft-matter physics and a focus on understanding and tailoring structure–property–function relationships for innovative food applications, please apply and join our new and dynamic team.Is Your profile described below?
