The postholder will be line managed by Dr Paul Kroon who leads the Polyphenols and Health Group and who also has an interest in micronutrient biofortification of plant foods. They will attend group P&H meetings. The group has expertise in dietary polyphenols, bioavailability of polyphenols and to some extent micronutrients, and interactions of polyphenols with the gut microbiota.
The post holder will have Professor Fred Warren as their co-signatory and will also be expected to attend Warren group meetings. Fred Warren is an expert in starch, fibre, starch digestion, and interactions of resistant starch and other fibres with the gut microbiota. The postholder is also welcome to interact with the groups of Cathrina Edwards where there is expertise in type 1 resistant starch and other fibres in pulses, the interactions of cell-trapped macronutrients with digestion processes, gut hormone signalling and the gut microbiome.Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the Laboratory of Dr Paul Kroon in the Food, Microbiome and Health programme at Quadram Institute Bioscience (QIB), based in Norwich, UK.
