Internship Color Science information

What types of projects and responsibilities can I expect during a Color Science internship?

As a Color Science intern, you can expect to work on projects involving color measurement, calibration, and analysis for various products such as displays, printers, or textiles. Your daily tasks may include collecting and analyzing color data, assisting in experiments to improve color accuracy, and collaborating with engineers or designers to solve real-world color challenges. Interns often work closely with experienced color scientists and may contribute to research, documentation, or development of new color technologies. This role offers hands-on experience with industry-standard instruments and software, providing valuable insights into both the technical and collaborative aspects of color science.

What is the difference between Internship Color Science vs Color Analyst?

AspectInternship Color ScienceColor Analyst
Required CredentialsTypically pursuing or recent graduate in color science, chemistry, or related fieldOften requires degree in color science, chemistry, or related discipline; certifications may enhance prospects
Work EnvironmentInternship setting, often in labs or R&D departmentsProfessional environment, including labs, manufacturing, or quality control
Employer & Industry UsageUsed by companies in textiles, cosmetics, printing, and manufacturing for training and entry-level rolesEmployed in industries like textiles, printing, and manufacturing for color quality analysis

Internship Color Science provides hands-on experience for students or recent graduates, focusing on learning and skill development. In contrast, a Color Analyst is a professional role requiring more experience and responsibility in analyzing and ensuring color quality. Both roles are integral in industries where color accuracy is critical, but internships serve as a stepping stone toward becoming a full-fledged color analyst.

What is an Internship in Color Science?

An Internship in Color Science is a temporary position, often for students or recent graduates, where individuals gain hands-on experience working with color measurement, perception, and technology. Interns may assist in research, laboratory experiments, data analysis, or product development related to color in fields like imaging, printing, textiles, and digital media. This role helps build foundational skills and industry knowledge, providing valuable exposure to real-world color science applications and potential career paths.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Internship Color Science, and why are they important?

To thrive as an intern in Color Science, you generally need a background in physics, chemistry, or engineering with knowledge of color theory and colorimetry. Familiarity with color measurement instruments, image processing software, and programming languages such as MATLAB or Python is often required. Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and attention to detail help interns excel in collaborative, research-driven environments. These skills ensure accurate data analysis and effective teamwork, both critical for advancing color science projects.

Job description

𝗔 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘆-𝗼𝗹𝗱, 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆-𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆-𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝟵-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗥&𝗗 𝗹𝗮𝗯. 𝗡𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗲.


𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗬

Pave Talent is hiring on behalf of Sheboygan Paint Company, a family-owned industrial coatings manufacturer that has been in business for over 100 years. With roughly 115 employees across labs in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and Cedartown, Georgia, the company ranks among the top 25 US paint companies by size, yet the culture still feels like a family business. There's a record player in the lab, group bowling nights, and leadership (including the CEO) that walks the halls and is genuinely accessible.


𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲

• Curious self-starters who ask questions and want to understand why something works, not just follow steps

• Comfortable working hands-on in an industrial laboratory, including standard safety procedures and personal protective equipment

• People who want breadth early on: testing, formulation modification, and eventually customer and cross-functional exposure

• Motivated to learn new chemistries and instrumentation without needing much hand-holding

If you want a role where every task is handed to you and mapped out in advance, or you'd rather specialize narrowly on day one, this probably isn't your fit.


𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬

You'll join a nine-person research and development lab in Sheboygan, reporting to senior chemists and the VP of Technology and Research Operations, a 25-year coatings veteran who came up through Dow Chemical, Valspar, and Sherwin-Williams. Sheboygan is being built into the company's center of excellence for all R&D, and this lab covers a wide range of chemistries: epoxies, solvent-based and water-based polyurethanes, water-reducible and traditional alkyds, acrylics, and UV and electron beam systems. They even manufacture their own catalysts in-house.


There are no QA responsibilities in this role. You'll be mentored on real formulation and testing projects starting in your first weeks, not sidelined into pure quality control.


𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨'𝗟𝗟 𝗗𝗢

• Conduct performance and property testing on paint formulations (viscosity, gloss, cure, adhesion, weathering)

• Modify existing formulations under senior chemist direction: raw material substitutions, gloss adjustments, viscosity reductions

• Build and test paint batches across epoxy, polyurethane, alkyd, acrylic, and UV/electron beam chemistries

• Learn to operate and interpret results from lab instruments such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), a rheometer, tensiometer, goniometer, weatherometer, and color spectrophotometer

• Document experiments clearly and write up organized results

• Take part in customer calls, plant visits, and cross-functional meetings as you grow into the role


𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦

𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱:

• Bachelor's degree in a STEM field (chemistry, chemical engineering, biology, geology, materials science, or related)

• Self-motivated, you don't wait to be told what to do next

• Strong written and verbal communication

• Comfortable working in an industrial laboratory environment, including standard safety procedures


𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀:

• Coursework or internship experience in coatings, polymers, or formulation chemistry

• Hands-on exposure to FTIR, a rheometer, or a color spectrophotometer

• Interest in color science or color theory

• Experience with statistical software (JMP, Minitab, or MATLAB)


𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗕𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗙𝗜𝗧𝗦

𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆: $60,000 to $75,000 per year

𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲: Flexible standard hours (options like 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM or 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM), on-site with some work-from-home flexibility once ramped up

𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀: Medical, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match

𝗣𝗧𝗢: Generous PTO and company-observed holidays

𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: Company-funded external training, including Datacolor courses, BIC industry seminars, and local leadership programs
