• Innovating new ideas for future projects.

Skills and Experience Needed

The ideal candidate will have the following:

• PhD in Organic chemistry (essential - equivalent experience will also be considered e.g. MSc with 2+ years of experience in a similar position) – Fresh PhD candidates will be considered for this role.
• Significant experience in running multi-step organic synthesis projects, ideally within the green chemistry R&D, speciality chemicals or organic materials sectors (essential)
• Material / organic characterisation using analytical techniques such as HPLC, NMR, IR, MS (essential)
• Experience in managing their own projects (essential)
• The ability to work independently and as a member of a team (essential)
• Scale-up and process optimisation experience (desired)
