Job Summary

As a Research Scientist in Polymer Chemistry, you will be responsible for the end-to-end development of polymers and their precursors. Your daily activities will include planning and executing chemical syntheses, followed by the rigorous purification, characterization, and evaluation of resulting products. You will utilize advanced analytical techniques such as GPC, NMR, and UV-Vis to investigate molecular structures and process behaviors. A key part of the role involves optimizing and scaling existing synthesis processes for production transfer while ensuring strict adherence to quality, safety, and environmental standards. This position is particularly attractive due to its blend of hands-on laboratory work and strategic project participation within a global engineering service provider.
