The UK Food Standards Agency (FSA) is looking for new members for its biological safety committee.

The Advisory Committee on Microbiological Safety of Food (ACMSF) has four vacancies and is interesting in applications from a food microbiologist, a virologist, an epidemiologist and a food retailer.

The committee is independent and advises the FSA on the microbiological safety of food.

Positions are not salaried but members receive a meetings attendance fee reimbursement of reasonable expenses, said the agency.

The closing date for applications is 25 February. Candidates should contact Sarah Butler at sarah.butler@foodstandards.gsi.gov.uk
