About this position
The University of Hohenheim’s Department of Plant-based Foods is seeking a PhD candidate to work on real-time monitoring techniques for advanced food production systems. The department conducts interdisciplinary research on the quality, functionality, and processing of plant-based raw materials across the food value chain.
The doctoral researcher will develop and apply imaging and monitoring solutions in laboratory and pilot-plant environments. The work will examine food material behavior under real processing conditions and support the development of real-time imaging systems and processing methodologies suitable for integration into food-processing and industrial solutions.
The project combines food-material research with engineering, image processing, programming, and process development. Potential research interests include processing techniques such as 3D printing, analytical approaches, and the translation of advanced monitoring methods into practical applications. The role also involves collaboration across interdisciplinary research projects and networking with academic and industry partners.
Research findings will be prepared for publication in international journals and presented at scientific conferences. The University of Hohenheim’s Graduate Academy provides structured opportunities to expand technical and methodological expertise. The research takes place in the department’s interdisciplinary environment on the University’s green campus in Stuttgart-Hohenheim.

What's required
A master's degree in engineering, computer science, material science, bioprocess engineering, or a related field is required. Ideally, applicants have prior knowledge of mechanical engineering, materials science, image processing, and programming. Applicants should be interested in engineering solutions, analytical approaches, food-processing techniques such as 3D printing, and food material behavior; be scientifically curious; work independently, structurally, responsibly, and reliably; and have very good written and spoken English. German is advantageous but not mandatory.
