Working at Ivy Farm, you’ll be helping transform how the world eats for the better. You’ll be contributing to a sustainable meat company, grounded in breakthrough cell technology and founded on the belief that science can improve our planet. Right now, we’re on the lookout for more brilliant people to join our ‘growing’ team.
You’ll love asking ‘what if’, love animals and have time for the odd nerdy joke (see previous sentence for reference).
In return, we offer progressive benefits, a culture built on kindness, and the promise that you’ll never run out of interesting things to say at a dinner party.
With a PhD in a relevant area of Biological Sciences or related field, you’ll have 8 or more years of post-doctoral or industry experience. You will be key in leading the teams across both Culture Media and Protein Sciences, optimising protocols and helping to delivery our company-wide milestones.
Ivy Farm is seeking a Research Associate to join our rapidly growing cultured meat company. We are developing exciting new technologies to tackle a range of challenges associated with making this vision a reality. This is a lab-based role where you will be supporting the delivery of our research goals.
With a Masters or PhD in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, or a related field, you’ll have two or more years experience in cell biology and process development. You will be key in helping us to develop our cell lines for production of cultivated meat.
With a Masters or PhD in Biotechnology, Life Sciences or a relevant field, you’ll have two or more years of post-doctoral experience or industry experience in myogenesis. As a Scientist in Cell Biology, you’ll be key in helping us develop and optimise stem cell cultures and protocols.
Ivy Farm is seeking scientists to join our rapidly growing cultured meat company. Scientists can join the Core Facilities Department to manage, standardise and optimise various support services and processes. Primarily meat tissue manufacture using in-house bioprocesses but also cell banking, culture media preparation and a range of sample analyses. In addition, the role will allow for select experimental mini projects (i.e. internal support contracts) with the other R&D teams. The successful applicant will have opportunities to develop in project management and, with time, line-management.
The purpose of this role is to conduct scientific work, to support the development and production of animal myoblasts or adipocytes from stem cells to replace muscle or fat grown in animals.
As a Scientist within Protein Sciences you will be utilising your expertise to design and execute protein engineering strategies, source new technologies and implement new assays towards low cost and reproducible manufacture of proteins such as growth factors for cultivated meat. You will work closely with the other R&D teams to optimise protocols and deliver our company-wide milestones.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer in the Bioprocessing and Industrialisation teams you will be tasked with developing the manufacturing equipment to produce tissue at large-scale.
As a Biochemical Engineer in the Bioprocessing team you will be tasked with developing the manufacturing process to produce tissue at large-scale.

Ivy Farm is seeking a Bioreactor Technician with a professional history of working with bioreactors and/or fermenters to join our rapidly growing cultivated meat company. We are developing exciting new technologies to tackle a range of challenges associated with making this vision a reality.
In a company that always asks ‘what if?’, you’ll be integral in tackling our most challenging biological questions. Working closely with bench scientists, analysing data sets, and developing new pipelines to support our Research and Development, you’ll bring a PhD in Computational Biology, or a Masters and relevant industry experience, to this exciting new role.
As the Extrusion and Food Process Engineer, you will be the first member of the Bioprocess Engineering group that will be responsible for the design and implementation of Ivy Farm Technologies’ first-of-its-kind manufacturing processes and facilities. This position will design, build, test, and scale-up mechanical process equipment for cold extrusion and other specialty process applications. The role will require a strong background in machine design with the ultimate goal of deploying this equipment in our future commercial-scale manufacturing facilities and bringing strategic differentiation to our production platform.
With a Masters or PhD in Computing, Engineering, Life Sciences or a relevant field, you’ll have experience in establishing and operating automation platforms. Preferably in related industries and roles such as in pharmaceuticals and research. As Automation Scientist, you’ll be key in helping us set up our high-throughput screening practice.
The purpose of this role is primarily to perform scientific work to support the research, development and improvement of the company’s platform manufacturing processes.
We are a fast moving food tech start up that is on a mission to help the planet by replacing traditional meat with cultivated meat. With animal agriculture one of the biggest contributors to carbon emission, land use and water usage (bigger than all of transport put together), we can reduce it with up to 90% by growing real meat. We simply take cells from an animal and instead of killing it we grow it in a lab.
As people don’t like change, and with less than 2% vegetarians/vegans, and with a predicted growth in meat consumption of 70% we have a problem. We are running out of planet. But we can help solve it…
So come be part of the ride. It’s a super fun team, a great company and very varied roles. No boring days here! You’ll be proactive, a self starter, good with people and have experience already either working for a brand, start up or in an agency. Our office is in Oxford. Please get in touch if you are interested.
We’re looking for a materials chemist to join our Bioengineering team, specialising in technology and biomaterial development to meet the company’s goals. This is a lab-based role and your work will centre on optimising biomaterial performance and exploring new areas of IP and technology. As the polymer scientist, you will be leading research themes and taking ownership of the development of materials.
You will be responsible for the design, building, testing, and scale-up of the upstream unit operations centred around animal cell culture and recovery operations. You will have a strong background in bioreactor design, theory and operation as well as bioprocess equipment and facility design in general. By working closely with the Bioprocess Development group in R&D, equipment vendors and external collaborators or partners, you will help Ivy Farm change the way meat is produced in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
