| PhD Position in Food Science at University of Aarhus
Applications are invited for a PhD position at the University of Aarhus, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences (DJF), Department of Food Science. The position is available for three years beginning as soon as possible.
Research area and project description
The current knowledge of how dynamic processes during manufacturing affect crystallisation is limited especially when the milk fat is present in both a continuous phase and as milk fat globules, like in butter. An improved knowledge will help solve certain problems about instability of milk fat-based products. Furthermore, it is desirable to add vegetable lipids to milk fat which renders a softer and "healthier" spread product. Again, knowledge is lacking of how this will affect polymorphic transition of the lipids, and how the processes will affect this.
We are looking for a skilled PhD-candidate to study how heating, cooling and shearing of cream, butter and anhydrous milk fat affect the transition of polymorphic crystal forms and the final solid fat content of the products. In addition, the effects of mixing vegetable oils into milk fat on the polymorphic transitions will be studied.

| Postdoctoral Positions in Robotics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
At least two postdoctoral research positions are available in the Distributed Robotics Laboratory at CSAIL, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge MA USA. The PI is Prof. Daniela Rus. See URL: groups.csail.mit.edu/drl
Each appointment duration is 12 months, with a possible extension of another 12 months.
Position 1
The research will be focused on designing small soft robots capable of locomotion and internal deformation, in order to squeeze through holes narrower than the robot body. The research will investigate the role of new materials and non- traditional actuation in designing and controlling such machines. The research will also investigate control and planning algorithms for this type of system. This project is a collaboration between MIT, Harvard, and iRobot. For this position we are looking for applicants with robotics background. Applicants with chemical engineering background can also be a good fit. We are looking for candidates with knowledge of mechanism design and control, demonstrated creativity, and experience with building robots.
