Indicatively, evidence of experience and impact of previous research can be provided through publication metrics. The Post-Doc must have experience in Agri-food waste utilization, novel and green extraction technologies for recovery of range of biomolecules from agri-food wastes, smart/active packaging and functional foods and should come up with “out of box novel approaches“ for food waste and by-product valorization. Significant input in the day-to-day supervision and guidance of 2-3 PhD students working on the similar theme is expected. Previous experience addressing the theme of this research project will be highly preferred. Evidence of independent thinking and leading the research project will be highly preferred. The Post-Doc should be able to evidence experience in working in a multi-cultural, international setting.
