The position is funded by the European Commission under the Marie Curie Industrial and Academia Partnership and Pathway -project WineSense (http://hpp.uva.es/winesense/).

We offer one Postdoctoral Research position for 24 months (full time) to work on WineSense project at the University of Valladolid. The University of Valladolid (UVa) is one of the most important centers of Higher Education in Spain (www.uva.es).

The University of Valladolid participles in WineSense project as coordinator, led by Chair Prof. María José Cocero, head of the excellence research group on High Pressure Process Engineering (http://hpp.uva.es/) , one of the most active and successful research groups of the University of Valladolid.

The WineSense project proposes to improve the extraction process to catch most of the active parts of the polyphenols (presents in grapes), to define a suitable formulation for pharmaceutical applications, food, and cosmetics additives based on Solvent Free Microwave Extraction (SMFE), Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE), and emulsion-Template techniques combining high pressure and antisolvent effects. Those are techniques developed for analytical purposes that are being implemented in production processes. New solutions for conventional extraction processes and new solutions for new products are needed to increase process efficiency and product properties. Intensification is a common objective of the extraction and formulation as it reduces operating time, while improving the quantity and quality of the extracts.

The candidate will participate in the knowledge and technology transfer of the process and product development for the intensification of extraction and formulation processes of natural active substances from wine.
The selected researcher will contribute in: (a) the development of a strategic plan for dissemination of the project and promote the commercial exploitation of the results and, (b) the widest dissemination of the knowledge generated during its execution and (c) enabling the partners (SME) with the opportunity of increasing revenues by using WineSense outputs.
Career Stage
Successful candidates must hold a PhD (<10 years experienced researcher) in chemical engineering or other relevant discipline.
