A small team with a wide reach, we have a broad and exciting remit. Our current research priorities and projects reflect critical challenges faced by the livestock and aquaculture sectors, including net zero, productivity, animal welfare and antimicrobial resistance.

Our work is centred on benefitting the UK, but our people engage both nationally and internationally. We do this from our home in York where we have a passionate and committed team based at the Science Park next to the University.

We’re looking to grow our team with a new Project Support Officer. If you want to be part of that team, if you thrive with varied and interesting work, if you have an interest in progressing your career and the Agri-Tech sector, then we’d love to talk to you.
