What Makes Us Special:

• We are revolutionaries with a mission. As a deep tech company, we create proprietary biotechnologies aimed at revolutionizing the emerging insect industry.
• We are an internationally empowered team. Our people are courageous professionals and team players.
• We are co-founded with nature. By harnessing the power of insects, we convert low value biomass into high-value feed ingredients, closing the bioeconomy loop with zero-waste production.

We are Nasekomo.

We're in a phase of exponential growth and were seeking for a new member to join us in the role of Animal Nutritionist.

What will your mission be?

Insects are currently considered as a sustainable protein source for animal feed. More specifically, Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSF) are highly efficient feed converters with the ability to transform almost any biomass of limited value into valuable feed and fertilizers ingredients. Inside our Research and Development team, our BSF nutritionist provides insights and develops new knowledge and processes that enhance the bioconversion potential of our insects by working in areas related to:

• Maximizing the BSF performance while optimizing production by better fulfilling nutritional, physical and chemical requirements during the entire animals life cycle.
• Exploiting the full potential of BSF to convert some specific byproducts.
• Modulating the nutritional value of BSF products through diet intake.
• Studying the dynamics and taking advantages of bacterial communities during the bioconversion process (inside and outside the insect).

What Awaits You Each Day?

• As part of the R&D team, our BSF Nutritionist will carry out research related to BSF nutrition.
• Improve feed recipes to decrease costs while meeting the animals requirements.
• Test of potential new feed ingredients and supplements.
• Interpret forage analysis and forecast future impacts and results.
• Assess the relative nutritional values of various feeds and potential anti-nutritional factors.
• Design and implement different nutrition experiments.
• Investigate potential nutritional disorders.
• Formulating feeds regarding their specific purposes and raw materials costs, availability and processing.
• Developing study protocol, operation manuals, training programs, data collection tools and quality control plans.
• Provide the rest of the team with valuable information on nutritional aspects and on different projects.
• Data analysis and development of reports.
• Communicate the results of the experiments internally and externally including with the scientific community.

Are You the One Were Searching For?
