2 PhD positions / Advanced Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry for Characterisation of Food

Wageningen University & Researc ia looking for two PhD students who will work on development of methodology and approaches for in-depth characterisation of food molecules using advanced ion mobility mass spectrometry. The Laboratory of Food Chemistry (FCH) at Wageningen University has recently obtained a state-of-the-art cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometry system, first of its kind to be installed in the Netherlands, which is to be used for analyses of complex food(-related) systems. This mass spectrometer features unparalleled ion mobility resolution and flexibility, which offers exciting and challenging new opportunities for the separation and characterisation of structurally closely related food molecules (e.g. isomers).
