Job summary

Anodyne Chemistries Inc. in Burnaby, BC, seeks an Electrochemist to design and run benchtop experiments with bio-based and inorganic catalysts. You will shape catalyst–electrode interfaces and help expand our product portfolio through careful experimentation and data-driven decisions.

You will work closely with biologists, chemists and engineers in a collaborative, fast-moving lab environment. A PhD or MSc with 2+ years of hands-on electrochemistry is preferred, and strong record-keeping is

Qualifications

• An MSc or PhD in chemistry with 2+ years of hands-on benchtop electrochemistry experience.
• Confidence running electrochemical workstations and three-electrode set-ups, and interpreting data.
• Solid wet chemistry and general lab skills, with a resourceful approach to solving problems.
• Experience writing or refining experimental protocols.
• Clear, organised documentation habits and ability to juggle several experiments.
• Comfort working independently and as part of a collaborative, cross-disciplinary team.

Responsibilities

• Characterise bio-electrocatalysts and inorganic catalysts using benchtop electrochemical cells.
• Apply CV, LSV, CA, CP and EIS to measure activity, stability and behaviour at the catalyst–electrode interface.
• Quantify Faradaic efficiency, selectivity, current density, overpotential and stability.
• Improve catalyst selectivity by testing electrode preparation, catalyst immobilisation, electrolyte composition and operating conditions.
• Plan experiments with clear hypotheses, then analyse results, spot trends or anomalies, and recommend next steps.
• Develop and validate standard electrochemistry protocols so results are reproducible across the team.
• Troubleshoot experimental set-ups, instruments and protocols when results don't add up.
• Communicate findings through concise reports, presentations and team discussions.
• Maintain a safe, well-organised lab, care for electrochemical workstations, and keep thorough, traceable records.
