Flavour Scientist (f/m/x)

We're on the hunt for a Flavour Guru Extraordinaire - if you've got experience in the bag and the scoop on flavors, we want to hear from you!

Managing the GC MS analysis solo? Easy. Processing data and building cool visualizations like PCAs and heat maps? Piece of vegan cake. With a passion for dairy, we are dreaming of someone who's practically a cheese whisperer – whether it's animal or plant-based, they know their scamorza. At Formo we’d have you diving into a world of flavor formation, dancing with the reaction pathways of ripening cultures, and decoding the secrets of ripening conditions. If that sounds tasty to you let's chat! 

Responsibilities

• Conduct VOC flavour analysis using GC MS, including method development, refinement, and calibration for all Formo products

• Research and understand reaction pathways connected to flavour formation in animal-free dairy products

• Translate discoveries into applications through close collaboration with our scientists and developers

• Analyse and present data in a comprehensive way to various stakeholders

• Manage research activities (internally & externally) in the area of flavour and sensory

• Ph.D. in Food Chemistry, Food Engineering, Plant or Biochemistry, or related field, with a focus on flavour chemistry, flavour generation, and technology or MSc with relevant experience in flavour analysis, ideally in food or dairy applications

• Sound knowledge of food technology and demonstrated project management skills

• Experience in state-of-the-art tools for flavour analytics, knowledge of sensory/chemometrics

• Demonstrated capability to establish and manage external collaborations, especially within a multidisciplinary context

• Ability to think strategically and application-oriented

• Fluent in English, German is a plus
