Job Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Fellow in Flavour Chemistry (Sensomics Approach) to join our analytical flavour science team. As part of the Proteins4Singapore project, the Research Fellow will lead experimental research focused on the identification, quantification, and sensory validation of aroma-active and taste-active compounds in alternative protein products. This position combines instrumental flavour analysis (LC-MS) with sensory evaluation techniques (e.g. profiling, discrimination tests, and threshold determinations) to support the development of appealing next-generation food products.
This is a fixed term contract until March 2027.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and execute analytical workflows combining LC-MS, and sensory data to map aroma and taste compound profiles.
  • Conduct sensory analysis of food (e.g. profiling, discrimination tests, and threshold determinations)
  • Develop and validate analytical methods for aroma precursor and flavor compound quantification in raw and processed samples.
  • Collaborate with experts in protein extraction and process engineering to translate analytical findings into product insights.
  • Write scientific manuscripts, contribute to project reports, and present findings at international conferences and stakeholder meetings.
Key Competencies
  • Proven expertise in flavour chemistry, food metabolomics, or analytical chemistry with hands-on experience in LC-MS workflows.
  • At least 1 year of experience with sensory evaluation/sensomics techniques is highly desirable.
  • Strong understanding of aroma compound biosynthesis, Maillard reaction chemistry, or fermentation-derived flavour generation.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to communicate complex analytical results to multidisciplinary teams.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, international research environment.
Qualification Requirements
  • Ph.D. in Food Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Flavour Science, or related discipline from a reputable university.
  • Publications or demonstrated expertise in aroma or taste analysis considered a strong asset.
What we offer
  • A collaborative and inclusive world-class research environment.
  • Access to advanced flavour chemistry and mass spectrometry infrastructure.
  • Opportunities for scientific leadership and professional development.
  • Engagement with a leading international team addressing emerging challenges in sustainable food innovation.
Applications
Please send your complete application, including cover letter (compulsory), CV, university transcripts to .
Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
We look forward to your application
