OB KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Provide analytical solutions, using advanced NMR techniques to challenging research problems associated with process development of polymers and small organic molecules; analysis of polymer degradation products, identify unknown impurities and interpret complex data to support product failure analysis.
• You will be in-charge of running and maintaining the NMR instrument, driving the method development activities, training and coordinating the technicians.
• Candidate should have experience in documentation /publishing/ patenting as appropriate alongside completion of a project.
• Excellent communication skills are required as the successful candidate will be an integral part of multi-disciplinary project teams, should be able to actively collaborate with technology teams to contribute directly to support process development, new product development and manufacturing issue resolution support.
• Drive multiple projects simultaneously and uses relevant statistical tools to evaluate the results and inferences.
• Contribute to and further promote a high culture of safety in the laboratory and on site.

MINIMUM EDUCATION/EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

PhD degree in Chemistry/ Polymers/Material Sciences with 10-15 years hands-on experience in handling NMR instruments and in-depth understanding of application of NMR for structural characterization of polymers and small molecules in an academic or industrial setting.

COMPETENCIES/SKILLS REQUIREMENTS
