Food Science & Analytical Chemistry Internship

Our mission is to decouple protein production from agricultural land and create an era of food abundance for humanity. We use natural fermentation and a renewable-energy-based feedstock to produce protein ingredients. While practically all fermentation methods up until now relied on sugars, which are derived from crops grown on agricultural land, we based our fermentation platform on a feedstock that can be made with just energy and simple molecules.

This allows us to bypass the inefficiency of photosynthesis and break free of its limiting constraints.

Farmless is creating sustainable postbiotic proteins from scratch. To ensure their success, we need an Analytical Chemist / Food Scientist to help us map them at the molecular level. Instead of just executing standard protocols, you will help build them. You’ll develop and optimize the analytical methods used to measure product quality, providing the critical data our fermentation and harvest teams need to scale our technology.

• Use your analytical toolkit to profile the composition, purity, and functional properties of our postbiotic proteins.
• Support downstream operations in optimizing our processes and during production runs.
• Research and validate new analytical methods to solve unique challenges within our fermentation and harvest processes.
• Monitor and document the quality of our production runs to ensure every batch meets our high standards for safety and performance.
• Maintain and calibrate analytical equipment while ensuring a rigorous, high-standard laboratory environment.

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Analytical Chemistry, Food Technology, or a related field
• Experience running an HPLC, performing colorimetric assays, and/or microbiological analysis.
• Having exceptional organizational skills with a high commitment to precision and data integrity.
• Team player with excellent English proficiency.
• Internship duration of 6-7 months.

• €1000 gross internship compensation
• Pushing forward the frontiers of food production
• Free healthy vegan lunches, snacks, and drinks
• Work in a diverse, international, and dynamic team
