  • Polymerize monomers using controlled living polymerization techniques.
  • Purify the products of synthesis reactions.
  • Characterize the products of chemical reactions using analytical instrumentation including, but not limited to, dynamic light scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.
  • Contribute to design, development, and maintenance of novel high-throughput synthesis and characterization processes.
  • Execute novel conjugation chemistry schemes to modify monomers and/or polymers.
  • Assist in designing experiments resulting in improved synthetic methods to produce novel targeted small molecular monomers.
  • Keep detailed laboratory documentation related to process steps, observations, and results.
  • Support periodic status reports summarizing procedures, protocols, and experimental data.
  • Assist in the interpretation of results and writing of small sections of technical reports.
  • Maintain a safe, well-stocked and clean laboratory.
  • Complete assigned project work within schedule and budget constraints.
  • Assist with the development of SOPs and continuous process improvement initiatives.
  • Contribute to internal research and development studies.
  • Build relationships with internal clients, as needed.
  • Assist with proposal efforts, as needed.
  • Support business development efforts led by others.
  • Perform other duties as required.

Key Qualifications
  • B.S. or M.S. degree in Chemistry, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field.

  • Good laboratory and documentation skills.
  • Exceptional communication skills, including the ability to produce detailed experimental procedures.
  • Ability to summarize results in spreadsheets, written reports, and presentation formats.
  • Experience with conducting laboratory work and searching technical literature is required.
  • U.S. Citizenship is required.
  • Ability and willingness to submit to a background check for obtaining clearances for classified government projects, if necessary, to support project objectives.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Understanding of chromatography, polymerization techniques, and use of appropriate analytical instruments to characterize compounds, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, light scattering, spectroscopy, and/or mass spectrometry.
  • Working knowledge of theoretical and practical polymer chemistry and organic chemistry.
  • Familiarity with ChemDraw or similar chemical notation program.
  • Experience working with robotics, automation, and/or LIMS software.
  • Experience working in a GLP environment.
  • Research experience in a chemistry or chemical engineering setting to include experience with chemical handling.
  • Ability to learn new techniques, perform multiple tasks simultaneously, keep accurate records, and follow instructions.
  • Ability to compile and clearly communicate information from numerous technical resources to support research objectives.
  • Experience in engineering model development.
  • Experience using computer programming to analyze complex data sets (e.g., Python, Matlab).
