Strategic Flavour Innovation Placement

We are seeking an undergraduate student to join our Research and Development function in Southampton, UK, on a 12-month placement. The successful candidate will work with our Strategic Flavour Innovation Team, focusing on flavour innovations across our product portfolio.

This placement will involve an end-to-end approach to flavour innovation, from early discovery to creation and operations. You will design experiments, conduct lab-based research, and deliver scientific workstreams involving flavour chemistry, neuroscience, sensory science, and analytical chemistry.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing experiments and conducting lab-based research
  • Delivering scientific workstreams to identify new flavour materials and technologies
  • Identifying opportunities for novel flavour concepts and assessing their fit across our product categories
  • Processing data and conducting statistical analysis

Requirements:

  • Undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Experimental or Biological Psychology, Psychology with Neuroscience, or Natural Sciences
  • Awareness of the application of scientific principles in chemistry with good lab practice understanding
  • Motivation to learn about taste and smell recognition, working with flavour materials, and developing early prototypes
  • Scientific curiosity and critical thinking to drive experimentation and lead their own project
  • Collaborative attitude and ability to communicate with both specialist and non-specialist audiences

Benefits:

  • Salary of £24,000 per annum
  • Subsidised on-site gym membership
  • Subsidised lunches
  • 25 days annual leave
  • Free on-site parking
  • Participation in the Discretionary Company Bonus Scheme
  • Participation in the Company Share Reward Scheme
  • Participation in the Company Pension Scheme
  • Private Healthcare Cover
  • Eligibility for Company Flexible Benefits Scheme
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • Access to online learning platforms and personalised growth programs to nurture your leadership skills

We make significant investments in Research and Development to deliver innovations that satisfy or anticipate consumer needs and generate growth for the business. Our placement programme provides training and development throughout the placement, including sessions for onboarding, presentation skills, critical thinking, scientific poster presentations, and 'speed networking' with senior management.

As part of the scheme, you will be partnered with a mentor, have regular reviews with your Line Manager, and work on projects that impact the business. Previous work experience in a practical 'hands-on' role would be useful but not essential.
