Description
In the context of the European project HealthFerm,

The Institute Paul Bocuse Research Center (Lyon, France) and Umeå Universitet are recruiting


1 PhD student in Social science applied to Food, nutrition and culinary field.

The HealthFerm project
Fermented foods are consumed in Europe and across the globe. Especially in the past decades,

fermented foods have been hailed for their nutritional and perceived health benefits. Yet little is

known about the impact of fermentation on human health or how fermentation can be leveraged to

enhance the use of sustainable plant-based raw materials. The new EU research project HealthFerm,

a collaboration of 22 partners from across Europe, will shed light on this forward-looking topic.

HealthFerm is funded through the European Union's Horizon Europe Framework Programme for

Research and Innovation and the Swiss government.


The PhD topic
The PhD (4 years) will focus on uses and representations of plant-based fermented food through an

ethnographic study (observations, recordings, and interviews) in 3 countries representing the EU

geography and cultural differences:
France, Sweden and Romania. The aim is to produce robust

knowledge on social and cultural aspects of fermented foods, their meanings, and their potential as

markers of healthy, sustainable and ethical consumption. The study will include observation and

interviews on-site, collection of data, analysis, and reporting.

  • Main placement during the first 3 years will be at the IPBRfacility in Écully, France. During the
4th year, the placement will be shared between Umeå, Sweden and Écully, France.

the PhD, in agreement with all involved parts (the PhD-student and the supervisors) and in

relation with the academic requirements at Umeå University.
