Research Scientist - Chemistry

This role will focus on assessing, maintaining, and upscaling the production of relevant chemicals, following CO capture and conversion processes, and their conversion into value-added products. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in chemical synthesis, spectroscopy, analytical techniques, and materials science. The candidate plays a critical role in translating lab-scale discoveries into scalable climate solutions for decarbonising heavy industries.

Responsibilities:

• Synthesize and optimize relevant chemicals and materials for CO₂ capture and conversion.
• Conduct wet lab experiments related to carbon utilization pathways such as:
• CO hydrolysis
• CO to bicarbonate and carbonate formation
• Generation of industry-relevant solid carbonate minerals
• Perform detailed characterization using techniques like 1H and 13C NMR, GC, GC-MS, FTIR, UV-Vis, HPLC, Ion Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry etc.
• Perform technical and economic analysis (TEA) and evaluate the capital and operational costs of projects during the pre-construction phase.
• Work closely with chemical and process engineers to transition lab-scale research to pilot/industrial scale.
• Maintain detailed research documentation and prepare technical reports.

Desired Qualifications:

• PhD or Master’s in Chemistry, Catalysis, Materials Science, or related field.
• Strong understanding of reaction mechanisms, catalysis or green chemistry.
• Minimum 2–3 years of hands-on lab experience (postdoctoral or industrial R&D preferred).
• Experience with carbon capture, CO₂ utilization, or clean energy technologies is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with safety protocols and lab-scale experimental design.

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work alongside visionary leadership on critical business functions.
• Fast-paced, collaborative, and intellectually challenging environment.
• Competitive salary.
• High visibility role with significant growth opportunities.
