Working at Monash University
Additional Information
Estimated Annual Salary: $120,000-$150,000 AUD
The project is part of the CSIRO's Industry PhD (iPhD) Program that brings together an industry partner, a university, and CSIRO to co-develop a four-year industry-focussed PhD project. As a research scientist in this role, you will receive a four-year scholarship package of $46,000 annually if successful.
To be eligible, you must be an Australian or New Zealand citizen or Australian permanent resident. Please see other eligibility requirements and details at the following link.
The current project aims to develop a digital twin of the twin-screw extrusion process through computational 3D modelling focusing on plant proteins to form animal meat-like fibrous textures. This digital twin will be a vital tool for the industry enabling the optimisation of extrusion conditions and enhancing product quality attributes.
This role involves deep investigation to understand the influence of ingredient physico-chemical properties, extrusion operating parameters, and screw configurations on the rheological behaviour of food material throughout extrusion which controls for the nutritional profile, digestibility, and fibrous texture formation the final product.
Activities include exploring the academic literature, developing computational models for concentrated plant protein extrusion, and experimental studies at laboratory and pilot-scale for model validation.
Essential Skills and Qualifications
- Mechanical/Chemical/Materials Engineering background with familiarity in CAD or computational fluid dynamic modelling
- Analytical and critical thinking skills for experimental design, data interpretation, and problem-solving
- Strong communication skills and ability to work independently and as part of a team
Desirable Skills and Qualifications
- Background studies in food science and related disciplines or computer science and related disciplines
- Foundational knowledge in protein chemistry, extrusion processing, rheological principles, and food characterisation
