Junior and Senior University Researchers with fixed-term contract (RTD) - Food science and tech[]

Organisation/Company: Free University of Bozen - Bolzano Research Field: Agricultural sciences » Other Technology » Biotechnology Researcher Profile: First Stage Researcher (R1) Country: Italy Application Deadline: 30 Jun 2025 - 21:59 (UTC) Type of Contract: Permanent Job Status: Full-time Is the job funded through the EU Research Framework Programme? Not funded by a EU programme Is the Job related to staff position within a Research Infrastructure? No Offer Description Call Rector's Decree n. 523/2025 of 31.03.2025 The research explores food antioxidants, lipid oxidation, and reaction kinetics, integrating experimental and modeling approaches to enhance food quality, oxidative stability, and shelf life. Deadline for sending applications and publications: Within 30 days from the day following the publication of this public announcement in “Gazzetta Ufficiale della Repubblica” Number of applications: 2 Description of the research activity: The research focuses on food antioxidants, lipid oxidation, and reaction kinetics, aiming to understand and control oxidative processes in food systems. It explores antioxidant efficacy, lipid oxidation pathways, and the development of predictive models for food quality and shelf-life. The study integrates experimental approaches (e.g., electrochemical methods, spectroscopy, chromatography) with kinetic and mathematical modeling to describe oxidation and preservation mechanisms. Key topics include the stability and reactivity of antioxidants, lipid peroxidation in different food matrices, and the synergistic effects of natural and synthetic antioxidants. The research also investigates process-induced oxidative changes, considering the impact of formulation, processing, and storage conditions. The ultimate goal is to develop innovative strategies for oxidation control, improving food stability, safety, and nutritional quality. J-18808-Ljbffr
