Life at Vernalis
Where Great Science Meets Great Culture
Based at Granta Park, just 8 miles from Cambridge, you’ll work in a friendly, collaborative environment surrounded by 120 acres of natural beauty — with free parking, an on-site nursery, restaurant and Nuffield Health & Fitness centre.
We believe great science happens when people enjoy where they work. Our Sports and Social club keeps things lively year-round — from five-a-side football and cooking events to summer socials and the office pool table.
