Join our innovative research team and play a key role in advancing adhesive technologies! As a Research Scientist, you will focus on developing cutting-edge solutions for acrylic solvent-free pressure-sensitive adhesives. This is an exciting opportunity to work on radical polymerization of polyacrylates, collaborate with experts across disciplines, and bring new chemical concepts to life. If you are passionate about polymer chemistry and eager to contribute to breakthrough developments, we invite you to be part of our dynamic environment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop adhesive building blocks, technology modules, processes, and methods for acrylic solvent-free pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• Expand expertise in radical polymerization of polyacrylate pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• Conceive, evaluate, and implement new scientific concepts in collaboration with internal departments, suppliers, and external partners.
• Coordinate and implement new chemical concepts at laboratory and pilot scales.
• Lead independent projects and feasibility studies within interdisciplinary teams.
• Support the protection of research and development outcomes through intellectual property (IP) strategies.

Qualifications:

• PhD in Chemistry with expertise in organic synthesis or polymer chemistry.
• Initial experience in polymer chemistry, particularly in radical polymerization of acrylates.
• Experience with UV-technology in the context of acrylic polymers is highly desirable.
• Strong laboratory skills, with the ability to evaluate novel chemical concepts quickly.
• Hands-on, solution-oriented approach with strong technical comprehension.
• Excellent problem-solving, project management, and organizational skills.
• Independent, team-oriented, and analytical working style.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English (German is advantageous, but not a requirement).
