Help put the food back into dog food!
The University of Surrey, in collaboration with Butternut Box, seeks a technically brilliant Animal/Biological Science researcher, to champion a groundbreaking Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Project.
A bit about Butternut Box
At Butternut, we put the food back into dog food. We believe dogs deserve to eat the healthiest, most natural and tastiest food with none of the nasties. That’s why we make freshly prepared dog food. Cooked like you would at home. Delivered in perfect portions.
As a B-Corp certified company; you can be sure you are contributing to building a sustainable business that cares about people, product and impact on the environment.
Our goal is to help dogs live healthier, happier and longer lives whilst leaving humans smiling after every interaction. We’ve come a long way since our co-founders (Kev & Dave) hand-delivered the first Butternut Box, we now feed a lot of dogs across the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium and Poland - but we want to feed dogs everywhere. And to do this, we need a team of brilliant people who share that ambition to come and work with us.
A bit about the role
This KTP focuses embedding advanced methodologies that incorporate a range of multi-omic biomarkers and health and well-being measures to demonstrate the nutritional benefits for Fresh dog food. This research will drive category growth and solidify Butternut Box’s market leadership.
This unique role is based at the headquarters of Butternut Box in White City, London, and will involve working side by side with a passionate team from Butternut Box and a team of experts from the University of Surrey; Dr Susan Armstrong, and Dr Teresa Hollands from the School of Veterinary Medicine. Combining academic challenges and emerging industry interests, this is an exceptionally exciting time to join a rapidly internationalising, high-growth company.
