This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious postgraduate with a background in analytical science, food science and technology, applied chemistry or a related discipline, to fast-track their career development as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate. This role will focus on process optimisation and knowledge embedding in relation to the use of potatoes in the production of crisps. KTP supports partnerships between business and universities This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious postgraduate with a background in analytical science, food science and technology, applied chemistry or a related discipline, to fast-track their career development as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate. This role will focus on process optimisation and knowledge embedding in relation to the use of potatoes in the production of crisps.

KTP supports partnerships between business and universities or research organisations, placing graduates (KTP Associates) to work on innovative high-profile projects. As a KTP Associate you will undertake a 29-month collaborative project between Taylors Snacks Limited (Taylors) and Abertay University (Abertay). The post, funded by Innovate UK and Taylors, will be based at Taylors’ premises in Errol, Perthshire, with regular lab work based at the University premises in Dundee.

This new knowledge will be embedded in Taylors by the Associate and will allow the strategic expansion of the company’s offerings to existing and new customers.

This complex, multi-year, project, requires the coordination and implementation of multiple streams of work therefore the successful candidate must have demonstrable experience of project management skills, ideally within a commercial environment. Excellent communication skills are also essential to support engagement with many different stakeholders with varying degrees of technical knowledge, including delivering training to Taylors staff, and so the ability to clearly articulate and explain complex information in a clear and concise manner is essential.

Key project phases:
• Prototype a simple XR application: determine and... create a prototype XR application that displays interactive and high-fidelity 3D objects.
• Using mobile devices for XR applications: experimentally investigate the use of 5G and edge computing to overcome the challenge of limited processing on mobile devices.
• Multiuser and shared XR applications: explore the use of 5G, distributed computation and edge computing for multiuser immersive experiences.

Candidates must work well with others and represent the university when working with key stakeholders (e.g., schools).
