Undergraduate research experiences a plus.
Knowledge of hydrocolloids, plant fibers and starch and application into foods and other systems.
Experience in a range of microscopy techniques (bright field, polarized light, confocal microscopy, SEM, staining & tagging etc.) Experience applying fluorescent probes as well as image processing and analysis in LAS X, Imagej or Matlab software.
Hands on experience with techniques for measuring physical properties (vapor sorption, interfacial tension, rheology, texture, mechanical testing, thermal analysis etc.)
Knowledge of statistical design and analysis tools is desired.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work across groups in a matrix organization.
Relocation Available? No
Job Grade: E
