About us
At the forefront of farming and food, Upside Foods is innovating new ways to produce real meat, without the need to breed, feed and slaughter animals. Our process begins with an animal cell, which is cultivated and harvested as meat. Upside Foods is a mission-driven company focused on bringing to meat lovers an authentic product that is truly humane, sustainably produced, nutritious and delicious! We are now expanding our team of dedicated professionals across disciplines to make better meat for a better world.
About this job
UPSIDE is seeking a highly motivated Scientist II to help develop bioreactor processes for the cultivation of cultivated meat. As a member of the Process Development team, this person will develop novel fed-batch and perfusion bioreactor processes using scale-down benchtop platforms for transfer into the Manufacturing group. Your scientific and operational expertise will lend itself to independent experimental design, troubleshooting, and analysis of experiments within a talented team. A working knowledge of vessel hardware, controller automation, and cell culture data analysis are critical for success. The Scientist II will have daily operational laboratory-based responsibilities on several concurrent projects, including execution, data interpretation and presentation, and suggestion of follow-up experiments. The ideal candidate will have a history of integrating perfusion systems (e.g., alternating tangential flow (ATF) or tangential flow filtration (TFF), to achieve desirable results through Design Of Experiments (DOE). We are excited to bring on a diligent self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced team with numerous opportunities for growth.
