Lead Technician Food Technology (ref. 2487)

Vacature

• Independently plan, prepare, and execute lab experiments—ranging from enzymatic incubations and extractions to rheological measurements and the preparation of foodgrade samples for tasting—using biochemical assays when needed. • Design experiments based on technical hypotheses, analyze the resulting data, and engage in meaningful discussions with scientists and fellow lab technicians. • Present findings with clarity, draw conclusions, and propose next steps to move the work forward.

Profiel

• A BSc or equivalent experience in Food Technology, (Applied) Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or a related Life Sciences field. • Hands-on experience with enzymatic incubations, ideally across various substrates such as carbohydrates and proteins. • >5 years of laboratory experience in Life Sciences, preferably within an R&D or innovation setting. Familiarity with food-grade environments is a plus.
