About Us
We're a VC-backed University of Oxford spin-out (2022) transforming how fluorochemicals are made developing safer, lower-cost, and more sustainable routes to materials used in lithium-ion batteries and agrochemicals. Based at ARC Oxford, we operate across cutting-edge R&D, analytical, and pilot-scale facilities - (www.fluorok.com)
The Role
A hands-on role at the interface of synthetic inorganic chemistry and process scale-up. You'll take ownership of the day-to-day process for the scale-up of battery electrolyte materials and play a critical role in technology transfer to engineering and the development of new products.
Requirements
Essential
- First degree (Bachelors / Masters) in Chemistry, Materials Chemistry, or Chemical/Process Engineering + at least 3 years experience in a relevant setting to gain experience on the relevant critical skills detailed below. Be clear in cover letter real-world and practical examples of the below
- Demonstrated ability to manage / conduct a process to high-purity materials (ppm levels of impurities)
