Job Duties will include:

• Working independently in a chemistry lab to execute chemical reactions (e.g. organic and inorganic chemistry, air-free synthesis, gram-to-kilogram scale reactions) and evaluate progress against success metrics (e.g. reaction yield and process cost).
• Analytical data collection and interpretation to guide further optimization and cost reduction (e.g. product analysis by HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, and other characterization techniques).
• Supporting general lab upkeep and management.
• Compiling and communicating results to colleagues and management.
• Writing summary reports and technology transfer packages as required.

Required Basic Qualifications:

• PhD in a field of chemistry.
• Expertise in organic and organometallic chemical synthesis.
• Experience using analytical data to guide and optimize chemical processes.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills.

Desired Skills:

• Experience with HPLC, LC-MS, NMR, UV-vis, cyclic voltammetry, and other analytical and/or electrochemical characterization techniques.
• Experience executing kinetic monitoring experiments.
• Experience with pilot scale equipment.

Manager is requesting PhD in a field of chemistry with significant experience in laboratory chemical synthesis.
