Job description
We’re trying to find a bright and inspiring postdoc researcher in neuro-scientific metropolitan food & biomass systems during the Department of ecological tech (http://www.ete.wur.nl/UK/). Pursuit will concentrate on design of circular supply chains for meals & bio-based items close to towns. This is carried out by linking predefined item functionality and quality that is corresponding to locally available food and biomass resources (including locally produced, utilized, recovered, etc.). a design that is new has got to be developed to estimate the results of integrating regional resources to present food and biomass supply chain along with to evaluate the effect of this needed quality criteria and connect this to prospective channels of regional resources. Also, the device is designed to integrate brand brand new and current (bio)technologies that free the necessary components or constituents through the regional resource channels to produce an easy spectral range of circular design choices.
Consequently, the task is designed to develop something to guide circularity-based design of metropolitan meals and biomass movement characteristics by determining the functionality for the items, deriving the quality that is corresponding when it comes to functionality and inventorying neighborhood, urban resource channels that fulfil the standard and functionality of regional, metropolitan needs.

- A prototype associated with tool + an instrument description/manual
- A systematic paper on the growth and preliminary application of these tool
You’ll be getting together with a few on-going PhDs taking care of metropolitan system modelling and food that is various biomass processing/quality/technology specialists at Agrotechnology & Food Science Group (AFSG) of Wageningen University & analysis (WUR). You may work in the system that is urban (USE) sub-group of Environmental tech department (section of AFSG), however you will additionally play a crucial role in linking different present and future research work with circular meals and biomass system in the whole AFSG. As a site here part for the division of Environmental tech, you might be likely to take part in our applications for research funds and activities that are educational. Section of your projects will soon be done at Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan possibilities (AMS) and Wageningen Food & Bio-based Research (WFBR), from which you’ll be asked to play a role in the device development with different neighborhood stakeholders in Amsterdam or from WFBR to co-develop, use and validate this device. Following the end associated with the task, we make an effort to supply the prospect a vocation viewpoint in the used research institute WFBR.
