Your responsibilities
- Review existing research and internal data on coating stability.
- Prepare and test different coating formulations.
- Simulate storage conditions to see how the coatings become unstable.
- Test various additives to prevent instability.
- Use instruments like DSC, FTIR, microscope, rheometer, and viscometry to analyse the coatings.
- Study the chemical changes in the coatings over time.
- Develop a method to predict instability risks early.
- Collaborate with different teams and contribute to technical reports and presentations.
What do you bring
We are looking for a student with Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related scientific field and a strong interest in coating formulation.
You should have professional fluency in both spoken and written English.
The ideal candidate possesses a strong curiosity, attention to detail, and critical thinking abilities. We are looking for someone who is self-driven with a keen interest in investigative work and have excellent communication skills to explain complex mechanisms.
