Chemist III

Raw Material Analytical Chemist III Duration: 12-24 Months + Possible Extension Pay Rate: $36.76/hr on W2 Location: Clark, NJ 07066 - Hybrid, minimum 3 days onsite per week Position Overview We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Researcher in Physical Chemistry - Colloid & Surface Science to join a research and innovation team for a 12- to 24-month assignment. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent PhD graduate to apply advanced academic training to real-world industrial challenges. The role will focus on developing analytical methodologies to understand the behavior of complex fluids and multi-phasic systems. The researcher will investigate surface and interfacial phenomena, bulk flow properties, product stability, performance, and sensory characteristics. Key Responsibilities Develop advanced analytical methods and protocols for characterizing complex fluids and multi-phasic systems, including emulsions, dispersions, and foams . Conduct bulk and interfacial rheology studies to evaluate flow behavior, yield stress, thixotropy, and viscoelastic properties of formulations. Perform surface and interfacial tension measurements using Wilhelmy plate, Du Noüy ring, and pendant drop tensiometry techniques. Investigate surfactant behavior, emulsification processes, self-assembly mechanisms, and stabilization dynamics within colloidal systems. Analyze and interpret complex physical chemistry data and translate scientific findings into clear, actionable recommendations. Collaborate with formulation scientists and cross-functional teams to solve technical challenges related to product performance, application, and durability. Conduct literature reviews and monitor emerging technologies and research developments in colloid, interface, and physical chemistry . Required Qualifications Recently completed PhD in Physical Chemistry, Colloid Science, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field. Strong knowledge of complex fluid characterization and the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties. Hands-on experience with tensiometry techniques , including Wilhelmy plate, Du Noüy ring, and pendant drop methods. Strong understanding and practical experience with interfacial rheology , including oscillating drop/bubble and bicone methodologies. Strong knowledge of surfactant science, self-assembly, colloidal systems, and stabilization mechanisms . Strong analytical, scientific research, and problem‑solving abilities. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex scientific concepts to cross-functional and non-technical audiences. Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment. Must be authorized to work in the United States on a full‑time, permanent, ongoing basis . No immigration sponsorship is available. Ability to work onsite at least 3 days per week is required. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate is an innovative, research‑oriented problem solver who enjoys applying fundamental science to practical challenges. They should be comfortable working across disciplines, developing new analytical approaches, interpreting complex scientific data, and turning research findings into practical solutions.
