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.

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.

Build a startup that transforms the food system.
Do you have a scientific, technical or business background and want to be part of revolutionising the future of food? Join us as a commercial or technical founder to build a scalable high-impact startup that creates a better future for humans, animals and the planet.
Counterfactual Ventures is an all-in-one venture studio, incubator, VC fund, R&D institute, and talent sourcing firm led by an experienced team with backgrounds across Founder’s Factory, Intellectual Ventures, L’Oreal, HP, Food X, Entrepreneur First, NASA, and Cambridge. We believe that replacing factory farming with more humane, sustainable, equitable and nutritious alternatives is an increasingly urgent global need.
We work with institutional partners, research collaborators, and a deep network of leaders in the alternative protein industry to uncover the most important opportunities in the market. We design high-potential technical and commercial solutions to address these opportunities, and then together with co-founding teams, turn the most promising ones into profitable startups designed to revolutionise the global food system.
• We’ll help you actualise your passions, skills, experience and personal mission by matching you with your dream startup concept from our studio
• We’ll help you build your ideal co-founding team from our vetted pool of world-class talent
• We’ll bring you into a collaborative process with our world-class venture studio team to turn a vetted company concept into your profitable high-impact startup.
• We’ll kickstart your journey with $300k of pre-seed funding, extensive incubation support, lifetime access to our network, and strong potential for follow-on funding.
◆ Application
Our application process is designed to get a sense of your goals and determine your forecasted performance throughout the lifecycle of your emerging venture. If your potential and commitment to the Counterfactual mission checks out, but we are unable to place you with a company for an upcoming cohort, you’ll be invited to collaborate with us in our cofounder talent pool.
◆ Formation
Healthy team dynamics and founder-idea fit are critical to a startup’s success. What we call the “Formation phase” is simply constructing strong founding teams that are exceptionally well-placed to solve the problem they are working on. We help shortlisted candidates match with their co-founder(s) with company concepts that emerge from the Venture Studio.
◆ Incubation
Following a successful formation phase, you and your co-founder(s) enter a six-month incubation programme designed to get you market and investment-ready. We incubate around 8 companies every six months, providing $300k in pre-seed investment, hands-on mentorship, essential turnkey services and tailored support for you and your team.
1. Be a part of revolutionising the food system. We’d love to partner with you in launching a world-changing venture with scalable impact.
2. You don’t need a team or an idea to join. Come as you are — bring your passion, grit, and relevant skills — we’ll help with the rest.
3. Co-create your dream startup with our team. We help you actualise your drive, skills, experience and personal mission to build your dream startup project from our validated concepts.
4. Build with the best-in-class. Begin your journey with skilled guides. Our venture studio team, led by former directors from L’Oreal, Intellectual Ventures and Founders Forum will personally work with you on validating commercial and technical components of your venture.
5. Find your ideal cofounder within our vetted pool of exceptionally talented individuals, who are as driven and passionate as you about building a better future of food. We will help you form cofounding teams based on your strengths, personality, team work style and cultural indicators.
6. Accelerate your launch with our support. We offer six months of tailored incubation support, $300,000 pre-seed capital and an unparalleled network to get your startup market- and investment-ready.

Helping people, animals and the planet by leading a team to deliver supportive public policy for plant-based and cultivated meat in Europe
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 antibiotic resistance and poor animal welfare.
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 and cultivated alternatives. Please check out our U.S. 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. We are at an exciting stage in our growth, and are looking for a Head of Policy to lead and build our growing policy team in Europe. For more information about this role and the team you will be leading, please read the Head of Policy job brochure.
Your role will have high responsibility and high impact. You will significantly influence how quickly Europe and the world moves to a more ethical and sustainable food system.
You will be responsible for leading, coordinating and growing a team to drive policy impact on alternative proteins at EU and national levels across Europe. You will provide strategic oversight and manage a team that works directly with policymakers, nonprofits, and other stakeholders.
Specific work-streams that the policy team are working on include, amongst other things, delivering a fair, evidence-based regulatory path-to-market for plant-based and cultivated proteins, driving significantly more public investment into Research and Development for plant-based and cultivated meat, and ensuring that the labelling of plant-based food products is not unfairly restricted. Our team recently played a key role in defeating the “veggie burger ban” labelling proposals in the EU Parliament.
In addition to providing strong leadership and management, you will also be a senior external spokesperson for GFI. Depending on where you are based, you may also take up responsibility for some direct advocacy in your country, if appropriate. For example, if we hire a candidate who is based in the UK, you may take direct responsibility for some of our UK government engagement work. If we hire a candidate who is based in Brussels, you may directly support the team on some EU-facing lobbying.
In this role, you will:
