Good Luck.
The job of a [lifetime / lifeline] is currently on offer for those with a [sweet / sour] tooth. Cambridge University in the U.K. has just [posted / mailed] a position on its careers website [advertisement / advertising] for a researcher of chocolate. Chocolate lovers with a scientific [mind / mindless] will have the chance to apply for a job as a researcher and study for a PhD. The successful [candidacy / candidate] will investigate the [proprietaries / properties] that make chocolate melt. Their [objective / subjective] will be to stop chocolate melting in warmer [chimes / climes] . The careers post states: "The project will investigate the factors which allow chocolate, which has a melting point close to that of the human body, to remain solid and retain qualities [sought / thought] by consumers when it is stored and sold in warm climates."

The position [involvement / involves] three-and-a-half years of experimenting with how chocolate melts in the mouth and in different [temperaments / temperatures] . The university says applicants [requiring / require] good mathematical skills. There is a lot of science behind the [constituency / consistency] and melting [point / pointing] of chocolate. A variety of oils and fatty [acids / acidity] are used to control how hard or soft chocolate is when we [bite / bit] into it, and when it melts. Chocolatiers spend a lot of money on research and development to get the [bland / blend] right so that the chocolate melts [on / in] the mouth. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology says: "Melting is especially important because it controls how well the chocolate [dispenses / disperses] and releases flavour onto your tongue."
