The Company
As the world’s leading Flavours and Fragrance Company, we unveil the tastes and scents that touch people’s emotions, from prestige perfumes to laundry care, from your favourite drink to your daily meal.
At Givaudan, we expect a lot from our fragrances and flavours. Not only do they need to smell or taste great; they need to bring well-being benefits to consumers. To help us understand this rapidly evolving area of well-being we carry out extensive scientific research at our Health and Wellbeing Centre of Excellence in Ashford, UK. This gives us unparalleled insights into how fragrances and flavours are perceived and how they affect the way we think, feel and act.
The Role
Givaudan’s research into H&WB can be relevant across many products and categories. Additional work is often required beyond the fundamental research to help fully apply and support these technologies. We have a one-year internship opportunity, commencing summer 2024, within the S&T Department based within the Health & Well-Being Centre of Excellence in Ashford, Kent. The internship role is to support the implementation and expansion of the H&WB technologies.
