Biniam Kebede

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Guelph in the CREATE The Future is Gree(ai)n / CREATE-Gree(ai)n program. The project sits at the intersection of grain science , food structure and function , digestion , techno-function , flavour , data science , machine learning , and AI . The research will investigate how the structural architecture of grains governs food quality and how this knowledge can be used to design high-value grain-based ingredients. The broader CREATE-Gree(ai)n initiative is a six-year training and research program led by the University of Guelph in collaboration with Canadian institutions, focused on sustainable, low-impact grain processing and wholegrain flour functionality. The successful PhD student will work with Dr. Alice Marciniak , Dr. Iris Joye , and Dr. Biniam Kebede at the Ontario Agricultural College . The program includes hands-on research, specialized training, professional development, and industry engagement. The post highlights support from NSERC . Applicants should be interested in food science research related to grains, structure-function relationships, digestion, flavour, and computational approaches such as machine learning and AI. The announcement does not list detailed GPA or language requirements in the post text provided. Deadline: July 1, 2026 . Applications must be submitted using the specified Microsoft Forms application link. Questions can be directed to the listed supervisors by email.
