A chemistry opportunity with has arisen for a high level graduate of Chemistry with some experience in synthetic organic chemistry. This is a great role for an organic chemist who wants to be involved in synthesising and analysing novel compounds to solve key challenges, current and future industry.

The role will drive key synthetic workstreams in projects encompassing a range of chemistry types including organic, polymer, inorganic and/or colloid science.

You will:

• Contribute to the high safety standard of the group within and beyond laboratory work
• Provide high quality synthetic laboratory work, data collation and record keeping
• Deliver of discrete project elements within broadly agreed guidelines
• Be willing to provide recommendations on data interpretation and synthetic process development, agreeing next steps in collaboration with others.

Key Responsibilities

• You will have the opportunity to develop and apply a range of synthetic & analytical methodologies to make industrially relevant, next generation materials across a range of scales (g – kg).
• Proactively contribute to the high safety standards of the group.
