We are seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Research Scientist to join the Food Innovation and Health Programme at the **MEMBERS ONLY**SIGN UP NOW***. (QIB) in Norwich, to investigate the role of food structure on the digestion of lipids. 
Background:
Research in the Food Innovation and Health (FIH) Programme is focussed on the links between the chemical and physical properties of complex foods and our metabolic health. We consider the main classes of food compounds that function as both structural components and nutrients - lipids, protein and carbohydrates, as well as bioactive compounds which are often responsible for the varied colour, flavour and fragrances of our fruit and vegetables.
Our research projects are multidisciplinary, and range from plant sciences, through food manufacturing and processing, to human dietary and clinical studies. The Food Structure team at QIB has a distinguished history in studying the biochemistry and biophysics of food structure and the impact on nutrition and health. 
The role:
The successful candidate will investigate the physicochemical mechanisms controlling lipid digestion and the bioavailability of lipids and lipid soluble nutrients from complex food matrices. This will be achieved using a range of in vitro digestion models to simulate the conditions in the human gastrointestinal tract, supported by a range of colloidal and physico-chemical techniques such as tensiometry, light scattering, rheology, microscopy and other analytical techniques. The role will also involve writing of manuscripts, reports and the training and practical supervision of students and other staff as appropriate 
The ideal candidate:
Candidates will require a PhD in biochemistry, biophysics or another area related to food, digestion and health. Some relevant research experience in food structure, in vitro digestion methods, analytical techniques, colloid science or lipids in nutrition and health are required. It would also be advantageous for applicants to have had prior experience in the supervision or training of students and other scientists. 
Additional information:
Salary on appointment will be within the range £32,578 to £39,938 per annum depending on qualifications and experience. This is a full-time post for a contract of 12 months.
