A New Jersey consulting firm specializing in sensory testing is joining the N.C. Research Campus in Kannapolis and is looking to hire 20 to 35 people.

Sensory Spectrum handles testing for clients in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, among others, said Clyde Higgs, campus vice president for business development.

The $1.5 billion campus backed by Dole Food owner David Murdock is being developed in conjunction with North Carolina universities.

Eight have signed on, the most recent being Appalachian State University. It will run a human performance lab focusing on such areas as physiology and exercise, Higgs said. The campus will continue to seek private development, as well.
