Research Fellow in Molecular Tracking

Applications are invited for an enthusiastic and skilled research fellow to work on a UKRI-funded research project to explore molecular tracking across the food supply system. This post will support the development of a much-needed approach to identify the impact of disruptive technologies across the food sector to meet major challenges, namely, our dietary, climate and nature crisis. This ambitious project will capitalise on the importance of diversity at all stages of the food supply system from soil to dietary metabolites driving health outcomes. Through predictive modelling using molecular and microbial datasets we will assess the impact of change on bio-, agribio
- and dietary diversity.
