Thinking Food Jobs, November 8, 2024
This week I am shining the spotlight on a range of culinary positions that are place-specific:
The Shoals Marine Laboratory, operated by Cornell University and the University of New Hampshire on Appledore Island on the coast of Maine, is hiring for a seasonal position as Head Chef to plan and prepare meals for residents and day visitors, cooking from scratch with an emphasis on local ingredients.
Philo Ridge Farm in Vermont’s Champlain Valley, is hiring an Executive Chef to lead all culinary operations—including menu and recipe development, culinary team development, back-of-house management, food processing and production—in a role heavily guided by the seasonality of the farm and the ethos of organic regenerative agriculture.
Approaching the idea of place from another angle, Pennsylvania’s State Correctional institution at Rockview needs a Corrections Food Service Instructor to train and supervise inmates in food service operations.
Finally, for a place-based position that moves around, Disney Cruise Line is hiring for a shipboard Pastry Chef.
Here’s the rest of this week’s list. All positions are fulltime unless noted otherwise.
