Several open positions - project SERENADE
Three vacancies within project SERENADE
SERENADE is an Industrial Training Network (ITN) funded by the EU under their competitive HORIZON-MSCA-DN-2021 (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Networks) program under Grant Agreement No. 101072846
The SERENADE project involves a consortium of 5 leading European companies from Spain, Germany, Italy, and Belgium, along with 5 research universities. The consortium intends to train 7 Ph.D. researchers in building smart sustainable solutions targeting the reduction of food waste at the end of the food supply chain. These 7 multidisciplinary Ph.D. projects are grouped according to three pillars: food, sensors, and materials technologies.
The Lab for Measurement Technology supervises
- DC3 “Optimization of MOS sensor performance using temperature cycled/modulated operation to evaluate the state of food decay (and forecast edibility) with artificial intelligence”
Partner: BSH in Spain
- DC4 “Coupling of MOS sensors with a chromatographic column: Design, installation, exploring new operations and classification”
Partner: 3S GmbH, Germany
- DC5 “Innovative excitation schemes for accurate food state and freshness detection using semiconducting metal oxide sensors in combination with AI methods”
Partner: Bosch Sensortec, Germany
The target start date for the first positions will be in October 2023. DCs will be employed full-time and based at one of 5 host companies for 18 months and at one of 4 host universities for another 18 months.
They will also spend up to 5-months on secondment at partner organizations, thereby ensuring that all DCs will spend time in both academia and industry and at least two different countries.
