PhD Scholarship in Non-Contact Assessment of Food Quality Using Optical Imaging Methods, Denmark
PhD Scholarship in Non-Contact Assessment of Food Quality Using Optical Imaging Methods, Denmark
Job description:
The aim of the research project is to relate relevant food quality characteristics to optical properties of the food material. In particular, utilizing multiple scattering effects to quantify parameters such as scatterer size, orientation, and density distributions. In this project, different methodologies will be investigated. One method is based on extracting optical properties from diffuse reflectance profiles relating the optical properties to the physical properties of the sample. Another method is based on optical coherence microscopy from which optical properties can also be extracted. The methods should be analysed, compared and applied to specially developed food samples. The main challenge will be to establish a relation between the measured optical properties and the physical properties of sample(s) thereby allowing simple, fast, and non-contact analysis of food products.
The Ph.D.-project is part of the newly formed Center for Imaging Food Quality (CIFQ) funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council.
Qualifications:
Candidates should have a Master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree at an equivalent academic level.
The successful candidate should have documented a theoretical as well as experimental background in optics and photonics. Experience within biophotonics would be preferred, for example optical coherence tomography or optical coherence microscopy.
Salary and appointment terms:
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.
Application
The application must be received no later than 20 September 2010 by using the online-system. Please open the link below “apply for this job online” and fill in the application form. Your application must include following documents:
