Admittedly, this job is less glamorous than other food-related jobs that have been detailed in these pages (touring the country tasting tacos and official NFL food tester are two in particular that come to mind). But a job’s a job, and if you’re in search of gainful employment and don’t mind relocating (if only temporarily) to cheesehead country, this line of work might be right up your alley.
The Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is looking for “individuals passionate about all types of foods, but especially cheese, pizza and other dairy products. Once hired, we will train you to become part of a group of expert tasters capable of verbally describing their sensory experience on the basis of appearance, texture, taste and aroma attributes for research and product development purposes. Panelists should expect to be tasting up to 24 cheese samples and 12 pizzas a week along with other food products. Panelists would need to be available for 3-hour consecutive periods (1 session) and up to 3 sessions per week.”
The gig pays $15 an hour.
