Would you like to use your scientific background and project leadership skills and make a difference in the much needed food system transitions? Does your heart beat faster for applied research to solve societal challenges? We have a vacancy for researcher/project leader in food safety!
Multiple transitions are needed to achieve a sustainable, safe, affordable, trustworthy and high-quality food system in the next decade or two that will fulfil the needs of a diverse and growing world population. We need to transit to more circular food systems, shift the diet towards more sustainable proteins, and use new (bio) technologies in food production. These changes will have an impact on the current food system and on food safety. Food safety challenges might occur at new places in the supply chain and new hazards are expected.
You will be part of the Agrochains research team within Wageningen Food Safety Research that investigates the impact of different transitions on food safety aspects in the food supply chain.
