What is the difference between Chemistry Intern vs Chemistry Technician?

AspectChemistry InternChemistry Technician
Required CredentialsTypically pursuing or recent graduate of a chemistry or related programAssociate's or bachelor's degree in chemistry or related field
Work EnvironmentEducational labs, research projects, internship settingsIndustrial labs, manufacturing, quality control
Employer & Industry UsageResearch institutions, universities, internshipsPharmaceutical, chemical manufacturing, quality assurance
Common Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding entry-level roles for students or recent gradsClarifying technician roles in chemistry labs

In summary, a Chemistry Intern is typically a student gaining hands-on experience during their studies, while a Chemistry Technician is a trained professional working in industrial or research labs. Both roles involve laboratory work but differ in experience level, responsibilities, and employment settings.

What does a chemistry intern do?

A Chemistry Intern assists professional chemists in laboratory settings by preparing chemical solutions, conducting experiments, and analyzing data under supervision. Typical duties include maintaining lab equipment, recording observations, and helping with research projects. Interns gain hands-on experience, learn laboratory safety protocols, and develop essential technical skills. This role is often a stepping stone for students or recent graduates aiming for a career in chemistry or related fields.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a chemistry intern?

To thrive as a Chemistry Intern, you need a strong foundation in general and organic chemistry principles, laboratory techniques, and coursework in a related field.

Research & Development Intern (Chemistry/Metallurgy)

Uplift Geosystems

Baltimore, MD • On-site

$20 - $40/hr

Re-posted 16 days ago

Job description

At Uplift, we’re on a mission to enable clean and low-cost production of metals used in turbines, batteries, and lightweight structural materials using our patent-pending chemical recycling device. By updating decades-old metallurgical processes with the latest advances in electrochemical membrane technology, we're increasing the accessibility of electric vehicles and other clean technologies from the ground up. Specifically, we are building electrochemical membrane devices to regenerate acids and bases from brine streams for the integration into hydrometallurgical flow sheets. Conventional processes do not recycle acids, but rather neutralize them in carbon-emitting reactions that produce solid waste streams. The industry-leading energy efficiencies of our devices and their avoidance of hazardous gas byproducts enable a revolution in the production of critical metals including rare earth elements, zinc, and magnesium. 
 

We are seeking an intern to assist in our minerals processing and extractive metallurgy research and development. We believe diversity makes us stronger. Women, people of color, LGBTQ+, veterans, and people with disabilities are encouraged to apply for this role. 
 

​​​What you’ll do ​​​​​ 

​​We are looking for you to:​ 

  • Prepare rock samples for analysis of chemical composition by mass spectrometry using mills, sieves, furnaces and other chemistry equipment. 

  • Separate minerals by magnetism and density. 

  • Perform experiments to assess rates of metals leaching from rocks. 

  • Analyze and interpret experimental results and analytical data to evaluate process performance, identify trends, and recommend modifications.  
     

Requirements 

  • Currently enrolled in a degree-seeking program in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, Geology, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Metallurgy, or related fields. 

  • Comfortable working in an onsite laboratory environment.  

  • Demonstrated safety-first mindset and commitment to safety laboratory practices. 
     

Nice-to-have 

  • Prior experience working in a chemistry, materials, environmental, or chemical engineering laboratory. 

  • Knowledge of hazardous material handling, storage, and laboratory waste management. 

  • Experience conducting literature searches and preparing technical literature summaries. 

  • Familiar with data analysis software such as Excel, Origin, MATLAB, Python, or similar tools. 

  • Experience with laboratory analytical techniques and instrumentation such as titration, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry or atomic emission spectrometry, X-Ray diffraction. 

  • Previous internship, co-op, or industry experience in research, manufacturing, process development, or engineering environment. 
     

Our values – The Uplift Way 

People first 

Extraordinary people achieve extraordinary results. We strive to recruit and empower diverse teams because perspective brings strength. We take care of ourselves, our colleagues, our customers, and our communities. 

Always raising the bar 

We take pride in delighting our customers and partners. To be the best team we can be, we value constructively disagreeing, then committing, and adapting as needed. In our continuous pursuit of excellence, we celebrate successes and normalize good-faith stumbles along the way. 

Bias towards action 

In the race against climate change, we weigh risks of action against risks of inaction. Many decisions are reversible and do not need exhaustive prior study. We encourage calculated risk taking. 


Compensation 

Target compensation for this position isbetween$20/hrand $40/hrdepending on experience level. Internsgenerally donot have access to company benefits (healthcare, 401(k)).
