TL;DR · Senior Scientist, R&D Spectroscopy

R&D Senior Scientist - Spectroscopy will join the Analytical & Decision Sciences organization to address complex scientific, manufacturing, and customer challenges through measurement science and analytical insight. This role involves partnering with multidisciplinary teams to characterize materials, investigate structure-property relationships, and resolve technical hurdles using advanced analytical technologies. The scientist will design rigorous experiments, interpret complex data, and contribute to the digital transformation of laboratory workflows by integrating measurements into connected systems. Key responsibilities include developing analytical methods and applying chemometrics, machine learning, and data science to extract value from scientific data. Required expertise includes a PhD in a relevant field and a strong foundation in vibrational spectroscopy, specifically infrared and Raman techniques. Preferred skills include experience with UV-Visible-NIR, chemical imaging, polymer characterization, and programming in Python, MATLAB, or R to solve complex material problems.

What you'll do

  • Apply spectroscopic techniques to characterize materials and investigate structure-property relationships.
  • Design and execute scientifically rigorous experiments to resolve complex technical challenges.
  • Analyze and interpret complex data to provide actionable recommendations to business partners.
  • Translate customer needs into effective analytical strategies for product development and manufacturing.
  • Develop, optimize, and advance analytical methods and laboratory workflows.
  • Integrate laboratory measurements into connected digital systems to improve data accessibility.
  • Apply chemometrics, machine learning, and data science tools to extract value from scientific data.
  • Contribute to the development of digital workflows for data acquisition, visualization, and reporting.

What we're looking for

  • Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Polymer Science, or a related discipline.
  • Up to 3 years of relevant industrial or postdoctoral experience.
  • Strong foundation in vibrational spectroscopy, including infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy.
  • Demonstrated ability to design experiments, analyze data, and solve complex technical problems.
  • Strong written, verbal, and presentation communication skills for diverse audiences.
  • Experience with UV-Visible-NIR, Fluorescence, or hyphenated spectroscopic techniques (preferred).
  • Experience with chemical imaging approaches involving infrared or Raman spectroscopy/microscopy (preferred).
  • Knowledge of hyperspectral data processing, polymer characterization, or programming in Python, MATLAB, or R (preferred).
