Food Section PhDs


PHD FUNDED FOR CANDIDATE WITH BACKGROUND IN FOOD SCIENCE OR PLANT SCIENCE AT KU
LEUVEN IN BELGIUM

BYAGRISTOK

Jun 28, 2022

PhD on the role of programmed cell death during tomato fruit ripening KU Leuven
Leuven, Belgium. The Postharvest Research Group from the MeBioS division of KU
Leuven consists of an international team of young, dynamic and enthusiastic
researchers that investigate the physiology of perishable fruits and vegetables
after harvest.

We offer a stimulating work environment for those who are interested in
scientific research on the verge of fundamental and applied research, with a
high relevance to making a more sustainable world. KU Leuven is a world-class
university and ranked 42 on the Times Higher Education World University
Rankings, ranking 7 on Reuters Most Innovative Universities Worldwide and being
the No. 1 within Europe.

PROJECT

The fruit’s internal oxygen level is important in sustaining the metabolism of
the fruit. If too low the fruit will suffocate. The internal oxygen levels are
largely influenced by the fruit’s tissue structure. We have evidence that fruit
are able to adapt their microstructure to their metabolic needs by, in a
controlled way, inducing additional pores through programmed cell death (PCD),
thus to allow enough oxygen to enter the fruit.

Your project will focus on tomato fruit  which is an important model system to
study climacteric fruit development. Given their relatively impermeable fruit
skin, tomato fruit is expected to naturally develop internal gas gradients
leading to local hypoxic regions. You will be studying the molecular mechanisms
behind pore formation during tomato fruit ripening to unravel the contribution
of PCD to this process. You will be studying physiological, structural,
molecular, and nuclear markers of plant PCD in relation to pore formation.
Special attention will go to the role of ethylene known to be involved in the
regulation of both PCD and climacteric fruit ripening.

PROFILE

The lab is looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate with a strong background
in food science, plant science, or bioscience engineering and interest in fruit
quality. You are eager to become part of a an international interdisciplinary
team to perform cutting-edge research. You have a critical mind and you are
willing to learn new techniques. As part of your PhD research you will have to
follow the doctoral training organized through the Leuven Arenberg Doctoral
School. You are expected to spread your work by writing scientific publications
for leading international journals in the area of your research and contribute
to the dissemination of your work to the industry.

OFFER

• A  full-time 4 year PhD position in an established but dynamic research team;
• Opportunities to participate at national and international meetings;
• The opportunity to work in a multidisciplinary environment on an exciting high
impact project;
• A dynamic highly international working environment in which quality,
professionalism and team spirit are highly valued.

INTERESTED?
