IVH is collaborating with the science team Food Quality Perception & Society at Aarhus University, Department of Food Science and the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience (CCN), Aalborg University (AU FOOD) on a teaching and research platform in Food and Health under the Sino-Danish Centre (SDC) for Education and Research that is funding the current project: http://sdc.university/research/research-areas/food-and-health/
The present position constitutes a part of an established collaboration between these Danish universities and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS) mediated by SDC. The purpose of the present project is to strengthen the research collaboration within the area of food science and to increase the output of candidates and PhDs with a strong international (Danish/Chinese) profile. It is expected that the future Postdoc will actively support this objective by conducting research in collaboration with counterparts in China for periods of time during the postdoctoral employment. For further information on the wider SDC programs and collaboration see http://sdc.university/
