Job Description

Overview:

This is a smaller company but they are very focused and right now, there is a lot of demand for their products. A recent retirement within their organization freed up the headcount to add to their laboratory team. It is a small and nimble team and they are looking for someone who brings some well-rounded chemistry experience to the team to contribute in the areas of formulation, synthesis and characterization. Travel will be very light for this role.

Job Description:

This person will join a small team of folks reporting to a R&D Director and the focus of this role will be on formulation, synthesis, processing, and characterization of polymers - this role will also have a customer-facing aspect to it at times, working on custom formulations. This is definitely a wear-alot-of-hats role; this group is small and nimble and changes directions quickly, responding either to things that happen in real-time or to changing needs within the business. This is going to be a great role for someone who is looking to learn and grow.

Minimum Requirements:

• PhD in Chemistry, ideally Polymer Chemistry or Organic Chemistry
• Must have a strong foundation in organic chemistry, including physical, mechanistic and synthetic principles
• The ideal candidate would have urethane chemistry experience, but that is not an absolute must-have
• A good candidate for this role will possess superior communication and critical reasoning skills - they are looking for someone who can see the business aspects of whatever they're working on
