Join the lab

The lab is recruiting. We welcome enquiries from students and researchers interested in food chemistry, food engineering, delivery systems and texture-modified foods.

Who we are looking for

  • Graduate students (MSc and PhD). A background in food science, chemistry, biochemistry or a related field. Experience with chromatography, emulsions or rheology is helpful but not required.
  • Honours students (FOOD 4908). Fourth-year Food Science students looking for a two-term research project.
  • Postdoctoral researchers and visiting scholars. Especially those with external funding or a fellowship application in mind.
  • Summer students. Undergraduates interested in a summer research position, for example through an NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Award.
