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.

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.

______________________________________________________
Overview:
Do you have a passion for using biotechnology to build sustainable new sources of animal-free protein? Do you want to join a new community of entrepreneurs, activists and scientists who recognize that the decades old factory farm model cannot sustain the dietary needs of 7 billion people? Then we are looking for you. You will love our mission of using innovative strain technology and advanced fermentation processes to create novel sources of protein for human nutrition. As a Research Associate on the Analytical Sciences team, you will apply innovative analytical tools and automation to provide insights into Clara’s bioprocess workstreams, working cross-functionally with the Strain, Process, and Applications teams in areas such as QA/QC, process optimization, and protein characterization.
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.
Clara Foods is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, status as a protected veteran, status as an individual with a disability, or other applicable legally protected characteristics.

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.

Overview:
Clara Foods is currently seeking a talented and innovative Senior Process Engineer to join our Engineering and Manufacturing. As a Senior Process Engineer, you will have the opportunity to participate in activities directly related to different aspects of fermentation and downstream process development and industrialization of animal free animal proteins. You will be a key figure to work on producing and purifying transformative ingredients and change the existing food system.
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.
Clara Foods is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

We were founded in 2016 by Aryé Elfenbein (Chief Scientist), a cardiologist and molecular biologist, and Justin Kolbeck (CEO), a former US diplomat who served in Pakistan and Afghanistan, in an effort to solve one of the world’s biggest problems: how to feed a growing population without stripping the earth of its natural resources and biodiversity. Investors include Spark Capital, Charles River Ventures, Root Ventures, Alexis Ohanian and Kyle Vogt, among others.
Come join us in transforming our food system for good!
Wildtype is committed to building a diverse workplace spanning multiple dimensions including race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, gender identity, and veteran status.
