This is a senior role for someone who brings not just technical rigor, but the curiosity and presence to help mentor and develop skills with teammates and collaborate across disciplines while leveraging your technical expertise.
The ideal candidate is self-led and can guide their work independently as well as work closely with JPG's leadership, contribute to cross-functional strategy, and help shape the future of food from concept to shelf.
If you're energized by fast-paced challenges, enjoy mentoring, and want to join a team that balances technical detail with global reach, we encourage you to apply.
Key Responsibilities
Lead product development across a range of client-facing projects, applying structured design of experiments (DoE) from benchtop through scale-up.
Collaborate closely with the leadership team to align on priorities, direction, and technical execution.
Lead scale-up and commercialization trials, working directly with manufacturing partners to ensure product integrity and feasibility.
Work cross-functionally with Project Managers as well as Strategy, Marketing, and Operations teams to move concepts toward commercialization.
Interpret product briefs and creative concepts into practical, thoroughly documented prototypes. Ability to work autonomously to achieve trial-ready outcomes is essential.
Coordinate stability tastings and sensory analysis, lead tasting sessions, and share clear takeaways with cross-functional teams.
Mentor early-career product developers and interns by offering technical guidance and developmental support.
Practice active listening; internalize client vision, interpret what's not explicitly stated, and translate it into formulation strategy.
Support knowledge sharing, documentation, and internal team alignment on process and formulation best practices.
Desired Expertise
Hands-on experience scaling from benchtop to pilot and commercial runs, including troubleshooting during factory trials.
Familiarity with regulatory compliance (FDA, USDA), ingredient declarations, and Nutrition Facts Panel development.
Experience collaborating with QA/RA and commercialization teams for formulation lock and tech transfer.
Familiarity with nutritional optimization (macros, label claims, fortification strategies).
Deep experience across more than one category of development. Priority given to experience with emulsion systems, protein chemistry, fiber integration, flavor development, or natural color reformulation.
Qualifications
7-10+ years of experience in product development, preferably in consulting, brand, or ingredient roles.
Proven technical experience in formulation, prototyping, and scale-up. Emphasis on experience with commercial trial runs.
Ability to work independently and lead multiple development workstreams.
Sharp communication skills with the presence to engage directly with clients.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Food Science or a related field required.
A passion for food. You must love making, building, and enjoying it.

Position Summary
The Center for Hierarchical and Robust Modeling of Non-Equilibrium Transport (CHaRMNET), housed in the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering (CMSE) at Michigan State University, seeks to hire a postdoctoral research associate in the broad area of computational physics (**********************************
This is a one-year, benefits-eligible position that is potentially renewable on an annual basis contingent upon satisfactory performance and availability of funding.
The mission of CHaRMNET is to develop novel numerical methods that allow us to overcome the curse of dimensionality in the simulation of fusion energy systems. The curse of dimensionality refers to the fact that traditional methods scale as O(Nd), where N is the number of degrees of freedom per dimension d. Foundational kinetic models often have N∼256 and d≥6, making direct numerical simulation intractable with traditional approaches. Through innovative work combining machine learning with new paradigms for direct solvers of high-dimensional partial differential equations, members of CHaRMNET aim to overcome this challenge.
The focus of this position is on structure-preserving, machine-learning-accelerated scientific computing for plasma physics applications. In particular, the project involves developing data-driven collisional kinetic models and numerical schemes that preserve physical structures such as conservation laws and entropy dissipation. The target application is enabling scale-bridging kinetic models for fusion systems. This work encompasses both research in numerical methods for partial differential equations and machine learning methods for physics-based modeling.
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, citizenship, age, disability or protected veteran status.
Required Degree
Doctorate -Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
Minimum Requirements
Completion of a Ph.D. in mathematics, physics, or a related area is required before Fall 2026.
Desired Qualifications
A successful candidate will have experience with multiscale modeling, high-order methods, or fast solvers and their application to multidimensional PDEs. Relevant expertise includes, but is not limited to, kinetic equations, statistical physics, Discontinuous Galerkin methods, weighted essentially non-oscillatory methods, acceleration methods such as fast convolution, preconditioning of implicit solvers or multigrid techniques, and low-rank tensor methods for high-dimensional PDEs. A strong background in numerical analysis and multiscale modeling is essential.
Required Application Materials
Applicants MUST submit their application materials for the computational physics Research Associate job posting on Mathjobs.org at **************************************** to be considered.
A complete application includes a vita, a research statement the indicates their experience in any of the four-focus areas, and at least 3 letters of recommendation.
Special Instructions
