Main Duties
This is an exciting opportunity to lead a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) between the School of Chemical Engineering at the University of Birmingham and Diageo Great Britain Limited. The Knowledge Transfer Partnership project will develop cream liqueur concentrate technology.
Please note that the successful applicant will be employed by the University of Birmingham but will be primarily based at Diageo Great Britain Limited’s premises in Bishop's Stortford.
About the Role
The successful applicant will devise processing protocols for stable cream liqueur concentrates, initially in the laboratory to understand formulation constraints at small scales. Successful formulations then will be scaled up stepwise to production in a pilot plant producing samples for consumer trials. Developing scientific understanding of cream liqueur processing, shelf-life tests and development of concentrate dilution technology are an integral part of the associate’s role. The successful applicant will have access to required analyses techniques at the university, as well as lab-scale processing equipment.
