Impossible Foods plans to double the size of its research and development team over the next 12 months in addition to expanding its multifaceted technology platform and accelerating product development.
The plant-based food maker is also launching the “Impossible Investigator” project, a program that will create opportunities for scientists who want the facilities, resources, and innovative environment to create an entirely new technology platform for turning plants into alternatives for meat, fish, and dairy foods.
In addition to the inaugural class of 10 Impossible Investigators, Impossible Foods has about 50 immediate openings for scientists, engineers, and other R&D professionals to join existing projects; more will be posted throughout the end of the year and beyond.
“Scientists want to solve the world’s biggest challenges. And the greatest problem we face today is our reliance on animal agriculture -- the most destructive technology on Earth,” said Impossible Foods’ CEO and founder Dr. Patrick O. Brown, M.D., Ph.D., in a statement. “The Impossible Investigator program is an opportunity for scientists and engineers in or on the threshold of an academic career to choose another path with the biggest positive impact on humanity and our planet: using science to eliminate the most urgent existential threat we face.”
