Chemistry Laboratory: Research Chemist

We are looking for a chemist who is a team player with a solutions-oriented mindset. The chemist will join a team researching and developing lithographic materials for advanced patterning solutions. This is a laboratory-based technical role focused on synthesis of organic compounds and polymers.

Position functions:

Conduct synthesis of organic compounds and polymers at laboratory scale through several hundred grams.

Use analytical tests to facilitate effective process development, characterize products and ensure final product quality.

Document experiments and help in the preparation of technology transfer packages.

Maintaining full compliance with all departmental and site-specific Health, Safety, Environmental and Quality regulations, systems, and procedures covering laboratory activities.

Maintain material database, inventory database and order chemical reagents from suppliers.

Qualifications

A B.S. or B.A. in Chemistry, preferably from an ACS (American Chemical Society) accredited program.

A thorough understanding of organic chemistry at the undergraduate level.

Experience with general laboratory techniques such as column chromatography, distillation, filtration, recrystallization, and scale-up.

The ability to independently perform analysis of compounds and reaction mixtures using common methods such as NMR, LCMS, GCMS, IR, TLC.

Versatility in common IT applications (Microsoft office).

Excellent organizational skills and accuracy in experimental documentation.

Good communications and presentation skills.

Must have hands on experience with synthetic organic chemistry.

Experience with polymerization techniques is preferred.

Has the ability to evaluate safety risks and reactivity concerns in multigram scale multistep organic synthesis.

Must be highly detail-oriented and organized.

Can work both independently and as a team player with a positive attitude.

Will develop time management strategies to ensure work is performed within required timelines.
