About this position

Wageningen University & Research is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a one-year project on AI-driven allergen early warning systems for novel foods. Based in the Information Technology Group within the Social Science Department in Wageningen, Netherlands, the role combines computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, food safety, and risk prediction.

The successful candidate will develop and implement machine learning models, large language models, natural language processing methods, and predictive analytics to identify emerging allergens and generate early warnings. Responsibilities include stakeholder engagement, co-creation events, expert consultation, collecting and analysing public and literature-based data, monitoring allergen risks, and designing an integrated real-time Allergen Early Warning System.

Applicants should hold a PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, or a related discipline. Strong experience with AI-driven systems, machine learning, natural language processing, predictive modelling, web scraping or other diverse data sources, Python, and AI software integration is expected. Knowledge of food safety, allergens, and novel food systems is advantageous. English proficiency at CEFR C1 level and strong communication and collaboration skills are required.

The position offers a one-year paid contract with possible renewal and a gross monthly salary of approximately €3,546–€5,538 for a 38-hour week, together with an 8.3% year-end bonus, pension benefits, leave provisions, flexible working arrangements, and international staff support.
