The Department of Physics and Astronomy is currently advertising for a Grade 7 "Research Associate in Small Molecule Migration in Complex Matrices". The opportunity arises following the award of a grant to Dr Buddha Chakrabarti (funded by Mondelez International PLC and is part of the EPSRC grant EP/P007864/1 http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/P007864/1 ) which seeks to understand migration mechanism of small molecules in complex mixtures (e.g polymer solutions, gels, etc.) with an interface that is either buried in bulk or exposed to the atmosphere with particular focus on flavour migration through gum that is the core of Mondelez’s interests. Contributing to the theoretical work that is currently being developed in Dr. Chakrabarti’s group, the main objective is to identify physical drivers and develop quantitative models of phase separation, wetting behaviour and flavor migration in complex systems rooted in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistica
