CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Smart Milk 4.0 Job at CSIRO AU

The world-renowned Systems research programme at CSIRO Agriculture and Food is looking at ways to increase the productivity and sustainability of agriculture in Australia and around the world. The Innovations in Mixed Farming Systems team is looking for a dedicated individual to support its field-based research initiatives.

Job Responsibilities

• Characterising the molecular composition, physicochemical/structure, nutritional and flavour/sensory attributes of traditional dairy milk using a trained sensory panel and analytical approaches
• Developing experimental and modelling approaches to apply learnings from traditional dairy plant-based milk, leading to a step change in the manufacture of non-dairy milk and milk products
• Carrying out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.
• Recognising and exploiting opportunities for innovation and the generation of new theoretical perspectives, and progressing opportunities for the further development or creation of new lines of research.

Job Requirement

• A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as chemistry or biochemistry, colloid/emulsion science, food, dairy or material science. Please note: To be eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (or full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience.
• Experience in the preparation and characterisation of emulsion and colloidal food systems.
• Experience in the chemical and physico-chemical characterisation/analysis of food systems and method development e.g. analytical chemistry, characterisation of colloidal/emulsion structures, sensory-directed flavour analysis.
• Experience in the design, execution, and analysis of experiments with the purpose of gaining new understandings of a physical system.
• Experience in the use of chemometrics tools and working knowledge of modelling and simulation to deduce generic understanding from chemical and physico-chemical characterisation data.
