Vacatureomschrijving

Are you a Biochemist with a passion for sustainability and circular innovation?

Would you like to delve into transforming co-products from the food and beverage industry into non-food bio-based chemicals, biopolymers, and functional ingredients? At Duynie, you'll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemical processes in a hands-on, research-driven environment.

🚀 Your mission: Help shape the future of non-food biobased innovation.

At Duynie, we convert co-products into functional and sustainable bio-based solutions. As demand for biobased applications grows in a circular economy and aligns with our growth strategy, the need for deeper expertise is increasing. In collaboration with Cosun RD&I and external partners, we are seeking a specialist who can independently translate research into building blocks, biopolymers, natural fibers, and platform molecules for non-food applications.

In this senior role, you will serve as a subject matter expert within the technical branch of our R&D team. You’ll be responsible for generating, validating, and exploring ideas aligned with the strategic goals of the organization. Leveraging your expertise and experience—together with relevant partners and networks—you will develop and execute research projects that contribute to applicable and feasible innovation. This includes designing conversion routes, developing extraction and purification processes, and exploring innovative applications such as biopolymers, industrial ingredients, and bioactive compounds.

You will not only act as a chemist, but also as a project manager, strategic partner, and technical point of contact in various collaborations. The role offers freedom to initiate and lead your own projects to success. It calls for someone who can blend chemical depth with entrepreneurial drive and excellent communication skills.

You’ll also be responsible for:

Designing and conducting biochemical and analytical research

Duynie’s R&D team works with structured frameworks including portfolio management and project-based approaches. This role primarily operates within the NPD/NBD portfolio, with an advisory role across other portfolios and business activities as needed.
