Doctoral researcher in choline research – part of a MSCA Doctoral Network on micronutrients in sustainable and nutritious diet Department of Food and Nutrition of the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry invites applications for a Doctoral researcher, MICROSUNSET MSCA Doctoral Network. Within the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA), University of Helsinki is offering a PhD fellowship for a Doctoral Candidate (DC), starting 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible hereafter. A position is for 36 months and is funded by the MICROSUNSET MSCA Doctoral Network. About the MSCA project MICROSUNSET is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) funded by the European Union, in which we have 12 open positions for Doctoral Candidates (DCs). We aim to create a network of early-stage researchers equipped with knowledge and skills - including entrepreneurship –to develop and support implementation strategies that address micronutrient deficiencies in Europe as diets shift toward more plant-based foods. For MICROSUNSET we will recruit 12 highly talented DCs, whose collective research will focus on bio-accessibility and bioavailability of micronutrients, and strategies to produce and process plant-based foods with enhanced concentration of micronutrients as an integrative part of sustainable and healthy diets. Development of analytical methods, digestion models, dietary modelling, and conducting consumer surveys will form part of the Doctoral Network’s tasks. The 12 PhD candidates will be based across seven different universities in Europe: four in Denmark (three at the Technical University of Denmark and one at the University of Copenhagen), two in Germany (Technical University of Munich), one in the Netherlands (Wageningen University), one in Ireland (University College Cork), two in the United Kingdom (University of Newcastle upon Tyne), and two in Finland (University of Helsinki). To be eligible for a MICROSUNSET PhD-position, you must not have lived, studied, or worked in the host country for more than 12 months in the last 36 months, and must not already hold a doctoral degree. To train the DCs as the next generation of micronutrient researchers in our international and interdisciplinary program, MICROSUNSET brings together experts from several disciplines as supervisors, forming a consortium of seven beneficiaries (see above) and fourteen associated partners including six from industry and two start-ups. More information may be found on MICROSUNSET. About the open PhD position (DC5) Are you interested in becoming part of MICROSUNSET and building a strong foundation for a successful research career? The Department of Food and Nutrition at the University of Helsinki is looking for highly skilled and motivated applicants for a PhD scholarship focused on choline in plant-based foods. You will join the research group “Food quality and safety: lipids, vitamins and other bioactive compounds” and work across the fields of food chemistry, food technology and nutrition. Research objectives The primary objective of the PhD project is to investigate plant-based foods, particularly legumes, as sources of choline. The work will involve the development and validation of validate a method suitable for the extraction and quantification of choline and the analysis of choline contents of selected raw materials and foods. Additionally, the effects of pretreatments necessary to eliminate harmful compounds in legumes and other processing methods will be examined, along with prospects for enhancing choline through bioprocessing and the associated changes in bioaccessibility in vitro. The research is expected to yield new information on choline in plant-based foods, promoting the adoption of nutrition recommendations. Throughout the project, you will collaborate with other Doctoral Candidates (DCs) in the MICROSUNSET consortium to contribute to generating evidence-based knowledge about micronutrient content, intake, digestibility and bioavailability from plant-based diets.    Part of the PhD study is planned as external stay at Valio (Helsinki, Finland) for one month to learning legume fermentation in an industrial scale, investigate the effect of bioprocessing and gain insight to R&I, markets and consumer preferences DTU (Copenhagen, Denmark) for five months to investigate choline in fermentation Responsibilities The primary goal of this PhD project is to investigate the enhancement of choline in plant-based foods, to support a healthier future European population.
