About this position

Aarhus University is offering a postdoctoral position in Stakeholder and Consumer Research within the Food Quality Perception and Society (FQS) science team at the Institute of Food. The project sits within a wider portfolio of European research and innovation activities focused on sustainable packaging, food labelling, and circularity.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to work that turns consumer and stakeholder insights into better packaging and food-labelling solutions, with the aim of supporting sustainable consumption and production, strengthening circularity, and improving communication around these solutions. The role spans several EU-funded projects, including BIOWRAP, Environmental Food Label, and CIRC4FOOD.

The position is strongly interdisciplinary and combines research, innovation, and communication. The postdoc will work on stakeholder mapping, interviews, focus groups, workshops, and co-creation processes, as well as consumer research on perceptions, needs, barriers, motivations, and adoption. The work also includes developing engagement activities and accessible communication materials for consumer-facing and wider stakeholder audiences, and collaborating with technical, regulatory, and interdisciplinary experts to connect user insights with product specifications and legislative requirements.

The role also includes contributing to scientific publications, project deliverables, and research communication, while helping identify future research questions, collaborations, and funding opportunities. It is placed in a research environment that works across industry, consumers, policymakers, and academic partners to support the development of sustainable and feasible solutions.

Funding details
