Job Description
Overview
A&B Smart Materials is an Oxford University–based materials science venture founded by Oxbridge graduates. We are pioneering the next generation of bio-based, biodegradable superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) to replace synthetic SAPs.

We are backed by prestigious investors and are part of the Creative Destruction Lab, the leading accelerator for deep tech ventures. Our work has been recognised globally, including being named a “DeepTech Pioneer” at Hello Tomorrow (2025) and winner of the Cleantech StartUp Award (South East, 2024). Based at Oxford’s Begbroke Science Park with access to cutting-edge labs, our mission is to ma...
