1 month ago


Clayton South, Victoria, Australia Monash University Full time

Job Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research team at Monash University and CSIRO, working on a groundbreaking project that aims to develop a digital twin of the twin-screw extrusion process for plant-based meat innovation.

Estimated Salary: AU$46,000 annually

Job Description:

This project involves developing a computational 3D model of the extrusion process, focusing on plant proteins to create animal meat-like fibrous textures. The successful candidate will conduct a deep investigation into the influence of ingredient properties, extrusion parameters, and screw configurations on the rheological behaviour of food materials.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

  • Background in Mechanical/Chemical/Materials Engineering or related fields
  • Familiarity with CAD or computational fluid dynamic modelling
  • Analytical and critical thinking skills for experimental design, data interpretation, and problem-solving
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills

Benefits:

This role offers a unique opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team, develop advanced computational models, and contribute to the development of sustainable plant-based meat products.

How to Apply:

Please visit Monash University's website for more information and application details.
