    The Role

    At Notpla, we create disappearing packaging carefully engineered for a healthy planet. Founded on the belief that nature knows best, we're an innovative, ideas and action-oriented scale-up developing and manufacturing packaging solutions from seaweed and plants that disappear naturally. We are currently looking to recruit a Research Scientist to join our innovative Research team to support our pivotal research and development with a particular focus on our rapidly developing films product.

    At Notpla, we strongly believe in our mission and our employees' ability to help us achieve our goals.
