Description

The ideal candidate should have an MS or BS degree in chemistry, or chemical engineering.  In addition, the candidate should have 2+ years of hands-on experience in R&D industrial chemical synthesis, or in glass scale (22 L-50 L) production.

Requirements

Position requirements:

• Good communication skills; oral and technical writing — proven ability to generate detailed lab reports.
• Chemical synthesis on the R&D and glass scale production (22 - 50 L)
• Knowledge of chemical kinetics and thermodynamics.
• Practical knowledge of distillation, sublimation and other purification techniques.
• Evaluation/modeling of synthetic pathways.
• Process optimization and transfer for scale-up manufacturing.   
• Knowledge of basic analytical chemistry techniques.

Some experience with inorganic and/or organometallic synthesis and operations under inert atmosphere, or industrial scale-up are a plus.
