Who are we?
Seloxium Limited is a dynamic and diverse spin-out company from the University of Oxford. We are revolutionising clean growth and the circular economy within the mining & refining sectors by selectively recovering high-value metals from in-process or effluent water streams. Our multi-patented ‘selective flocculation' technology will change the way we mine, refine and process these metals, offering a greener and more sustainable solution to metallic resource recovery and reuse.
We are a fast-paced company at an exciting stage of development, scaling our operations across two sites — an R&D laboratory and back office function in Oxford, and a pilot processing plant in the North East of England. As we grow, we are looking for an enthusiastic Analytical / Lab Support Chemist to be a key player in our innovative journey in Teesside. In this hands-on role, you'll support a wide range of laboratory activities, from routine analyses to assisting with the development of advanced selective extraction methods. Your contributions will directly impact the advancement of our Selectal™ technology and help us maintain our position at the forefront of Aqua Mining.
