Ref: RO/DC/1016
Basic Function:
To develop, lead and implement a research programme in aspects of Dairy chemistry within Teagasc. Candidates should have a comprehensive understanding of milk chemistry (protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins) and potential impact for Dairy processing sector. The successful candidate will be tasked with building a team with focus on studying the nutrient and surrounding chemistry of milk. While a particular focus will be placed on protein and/or fat, knowledge of the chemistry of minor components in milk is also required. The role should involve the development of new thinking on the chemical interactions and forces present in milk as influenced by different external factors such as pH, heat and addition of cationic or anionic species. The appointee will be responsible for taking on leadership role in dissemination of these new research findings, e.g., as peer reviewed publications or as directly applied to Industry. The role will involve transfer of relevant research to commercial application through interaction with industrial clients, including management of intellectual property as appropriate.
