About Clara Foods™
Clara Foods™ is a Bay Area venture capital-backed company working towards a disruptive advance in food technology by producing animal proteins without the animal using fermentation. We join a new generation of entrepreneurs, activists, and scientists who recognize that the decades-old factory farm model cannot sustain the dietary needs of 7 billion people and counting - and that technology may hold a solution.
As much as the growing market demands for animal protein production exert pressure on food producers to improve their efficiencies and outputs, there is also growing public distaste for the environmental, animal welfare, and health compromises of industrial-scale animal agriculture.
Clara Foods™ aims to subvert this moral and economic deadlock by taking the animal out of the equation. We’re bringing products to the table that are produced completely animal-free, use less land and water inputs, while matching the taste, nutritional value, and unique culinary properties of animal proteins.

A well-backed up start-up based in Birmingham that aims to become a global leader in a rapidly emerging and exciting new industry is seeking to appoint a Post-doctoral Research Associate on a full-time basis to work in the exciting field of cultivated meat.
There is an increased need to find sustainable food alternatives to support the rapidly growing population. Traditional farm-based products are not sustainable and are one of the main contributors to the increase in greenhouse emissions. Cultivated meat is an alternative food technology that offers a healthier and safer option for consumers that doesn’t require animal slaughter, while being estimated to lead to 96% less greenhouse gases, 96% less water and 99% less land required for its production compared to traditional farm-based meat. A significantly reduced risk of foodborne diseases is also predicted for cultivated meat in comparison to traditional meat products. Additionally, there is no need for the use of antibiotics which removes the risk of antimicrobial resistance that is a worldwide challenge.
Cultivated meat is a relatively new concept with undeniable benefits.
The successful candidate will join a highly motivated team and will have the opportunity to experience innovation first-hand, while playing a role in making cultivated meat products an affordable reality.

The position requires communication with other individuals through a variety of methods.
A well-backed up start-up based in Birmingham that aims to become a global leader in a rapidly emerging and exciting new industry is seeking to appoint a Post-doctoral Research Associate on a full-time basis to work in the exciting field of cultivated meat.
There is an increased need to find sustainable food alternatives to support the rapidly growing population. Traditional farm-based products are not sustainable and are one of the main contributors to the increase in greenhouse emissions. Cultivated meat is an alternative food technology that offers a healthier and safer option for consumers that doesn’t require animal slaughter, while being estimated to lead to 96% less greenhouse gases, 96% less water and 99% less land required for its production compared to traditional farm-based meat. A significantly reduced risk of foodborne diseases is also predicted for cultivated meat in comparison to traditional meat products. Additionally, there is no need for the use of antibiotics which removes the risk of antimicrobial resistance that is a worldwide challenge.
Cultivated meat is a relatively new concept with undeniable benefits.
The successful candidate will join a highly motivated team and will have the opportunity to experience innovation first-hand, while playing a role in making cultivated meat products an affordable reality.

Use your research and relationship-building skills to help build a sustainable, secure and just food system
Industrial animal agriculture is at the root of many of the most pressing global issues of our time, from climate change and global hunger to increased disease risk and the exploitation of billions of animals annually.
The Good Food Institute Europe (GFI Europe) is at the forefront of the movement to use food technology to replace the products of industrial animal agriculture with plant-based, cultivated (grown from cells) and fermentation-enabled alternatives. Please check out our US affiliate’s website (gfi.org) and read the 2020 Year in Review (gfi.org/2020) to find out more about who we are and what we do.
One of our key objectives is to boost the amount of research and development funding that governments across Europe devote to plant-based and cultivated meat. So far, we’ve focused our engagement efforts at the EU level in Brussels.
Now, we want to start working at the national level in countries across Europe, to mobilise R&D funding and deliver wider policy change to support sustainable proteins. To do that, we need to decide which countries to focus our efforts on and to start building relationships at the national level.
We are offering a one-year contract for a Policy Analyst to help us map, build relationships and identify future opportunities for engagement across Europe. The project will involve conducting research comparing the opportunities for boosting R&D funding across different countries, prioritizing which countries to focus on, conducting ecosystem mapping, building relationships with key actors, and making strategic recommendations for further engagement beyond the end of the project.
For more information about this role, please check out the job brochure: shorturl.at/uyCDF.
You will lead our work mapping out which European countries hold the highest potential for engagement to further our objective of boosting public R&D funding for sustainable proteins. You will make strategic recommendations about which countries GFI has the highest potential for positive impact in, and you will start to build relationships with national-level policymakers, researchers, companies and NGOs. You will complete three deliverables as part of this project:
Deliverable 1:
Deliverable 2:
