Ohio STATE is Seeking an MS student (Food Science) to begin Summer/Fall 2025 at Ohio State University

This project is part of a USDA NIFA Higher Education Challenge Grant titled "Development of a diverse and competent food safety compliance workforce to enhance trust in a secure food system" in collaboration with NC State University and Tuskegee University.

Specifically, the MS student will likely focus on a project assessing student perceptions of careers in auditing, inspection, and assessment and/or evaluate programmatic data from stakeholders using the newly developed curriculum and resources. Project topic is flexible but will focus on some aspect of food safety auditing, inspection, and assessment. Ideally, a student would begin integrating themselves into the project/grant asap. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions: Nicole Arnold, arnold.1363@osu.edu (mailto:arnold.1363@osu.edu)

Nicole Arnold, PhD Assistant Professor and Food Safety Field Specialist Ohio State University Extension Ag Admin Bldg, Room 003 - 2120 Fyffe Road - Columbus, OH 43210
