Synthetic Chemist - Battery Technology - Cambridge
A growing scientific technology house based in Cambridge is in the process of expansion and is actively looking to strengthen their in-house research team by bringing on a Synthetic Chemist to work on novel battery technologies.
As a Synthetic Chemist, you will be charged with developing the company's next generation energy storage materials. This will include working within a multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers to maximize the performance of battery materials and contribute to developing a deep understanding of the key structure-property relationships in functional battery materials and materials formulations.
Some key parts of the role will include:
1. Synthesis and chemical analysis of organic chemistry targets.
2. Formulation of functional material inks and pastes and their pre-device fabrication physical characterization.
3. Creative contributions to brainstorms, studies, and project meeting discussions.
4. Proposal and design of novel materials and recommendations to solve chemical synthetic issues.
To be considered for this role, we are looking for candidates with strong knowledge of synthetic organic chemistry and polymers that complements a PhD in Chemistry. Any experience with battery technologies or electrochemical techniques would be a significant advantage.
In return for your hard work, the company offers a highly competitive salary, a 10% signing bonus, and benefits package, as well as excellent career progression opportunities and the chance to work on leading-edge technologies.
This is a 2-year fixed-term contract with possibilities for future roles within the organization. We are ideally looking for a candidate who has recently or will soon be finishing a PhD, but we are open to candidates who have 1 to 2 years of experience in industry or as a post-doc.
