Form of workJob Description
You’ll join an innovative company established to rapidly develop next generation materials with a unique development process and a long view of contributing to solving the world-wide energy/environmental crisis.
This seems worth exploring because:
As a PhD you will continue to innovate and fast-track your career in this company using a materials discovery process augmented by custom built AI designed to reduce experimental trial and error.
Work in a new laboratory setting designed specifically for your team to succeed.
They value their employees and with part of the senior leadership team located in Europe, there is a very generous vacation and maternity/paternity leave policy, along with many benefits (listed below).
Location:Near Princeton NJ (Monmouth Junction)
What you will be doing:
As part of an impressive multidisciplinary team, you’ll be a key contributor in the area of new materials design and development with an initial emphasis on zeolites for carbon capture with broad future ambitions in rapid materials discovery.
Propose new synthesis routes for zeolites and comprehend computational models to understand suggested zeolite targets.
Work independently in the laboratory leading experimental synthesis of new zeolites and porous inorganic materials. You will work hands-on as well as supervise technicians.
Conduct materials analysis, interpret data, and present findings internally and externally.
Develop safety and experimental procedures.
Grasp computational models to propose new synthesis routes for zeolites.
Scale-up synthesis to pilot or production levels.
Collaborate frequently with engineers and scientists who will take responsibility for testing materials in new applications, a process design engineer, a computation chemist, and lab technicians.
What you will bring to this company:
Bring your passion for innovation along with,
PhD in Chemistry or Materials Science with a focus on zeolites/porous materials synthesis.
2 to 7 years of industrial experience (a post doc in synthetic inorganic chemistry is relevant experience)
Proficiency in synthesizing new zeolites, proposing novel synthesis routes, and scale-up to pilot plant level.
Ability to comprehend computational models.
Quick learning and teaching abilities.
Willingness to work onsite at the laboratory 5 days a week.
Authorized to work in the USA.
Additional experiences that would be a plus but not required:
Experience in Direct Air Capture, CO2 Capture, & Gas Separations, including membrane gas separation.
Patents that demonstrate an ability in discovery & synthesis of new materials.
Proficiency in using computational chemistry to guide materials synthesis.
Experience interpreting analytical data: XRD, XRF, BET, SEM, TGA, TPD, DSC, ICP, AA
