Who we are and what we do

Arla Foods, Scandinavia’s biggest dairy company, has 19,000 employees across 30 countries and over 9,000 dairy farm owners in Denmark, Sweden, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. In Arla our research and new product development teams work together to build on science, new technologies, local knowledge, consumer tastes and regulatory frameworks to develop new product formulations for launch – for example into a new market. At the Arla Innovation Centre, along with product development teams in the UK, Sweden, China, Germany, Netherlands, Finland and the US, we innovate from farm to plate to create the future of dairy products. We do this in state-of-the-art science and consumer labs and a 2000 m2 pilot plant, located in the heart of the Danish food cluster while working closely with suppliers, universities and specialist technology companies (e.g. SMEs and entrepreneurs).

Working as a PhD at Arla Foods

As a PhD in our science team you will be part of transforming knowledge of food science and nutrition into business opportunities for Arla. This will be done both by using current scientific knowledge but also by being part of conducting projects to gain new knowledge. In addition, within the science teams we have numerous external PhD projects running aiming to develop the science forward and result in findings that are useful for the dairy sector. At the Arla Innovation Center you will become part of a very multicultural organization with a great working atmosphere. What we are looking for in terms of new colleagues and collaborators are individuals that are self-driven, curious, hard/smart-working, team players and creative thinkers.
