Bridgewater, New Jersey, United States Apply until: Open until further notice

Sr. Researcher

At Nouryon, our global team takes positive action every day, to reach higher collectively and individually. We create innovative and sustainable solutions for our customers to answer society’s needs – today and in the future.

We are looking for team members who bring ideas forward, champion others and work together to do better. Does that sound like you?

About the job

The Sr. Researcher position is an exciting opportunity for early‑career chemists who are eager to learn, experiment, and explore. You’ll join the Product Chemistry group and contribute to the design, synthesis, and characterization of polymers and surfactants that support new product development across multiple application areas.

Rather than expecting deep specialization on day one, we’re looking for someone with a curious mind, strong scientific fundamentals, and a passion for hands‑on experimentation. You’ll work closely with experienced scientists, gaining exposure to different business lines, product families, and customer needs.

As part of our rotational development experience, you’ll have the opportunity to explore multiple application fields, collaborate with cross‑functional teams, and build a broad understanding of how chemistry drives innovation across our portfolio.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow into a technical expert while contributing meaningful work from the start.

In your future role as Senior Researcher, you will

Contribute to the design and execution of laboratory experiments that explore new polymer and surfactant structures aligned with customer and market needs, bringing a curious and proactive mindset to proposing ideas and testing hypotheses.
Support the development and optimization of polymer structures and synthetic routes, including feasibility assessments and early‑stage scale‑up considerations, while learning from senior scientists and taking initiative to deepen your understanding.
Participate in technology‑transfer activities by helping identify potential scale‑up risks and contributing chemistry‑based solutions as your experience grows.
Provide hands‑on support to pilot‑plant or manufacturing teams during new product start‑ups, including assisting with troubleshooting and proactively flagging observations or deviations.
Contribute to intellectual‑property generation through data packages, invention‑disclosure inputs, and creative problem‑solving.
Collaborate with cross‑functional partners (applications, marketing, regulatory, analytical, operations) to understand how chemistry connects to product performance, customer needs, and business strategy—supported by rotational exposure across different application fields and product lines.
Maintain high‑quality laboratory documentation and uphold strong safety and 5S practices, taking initiative to improve workflows and lab organization.
Prepare clear, concise technical summaries and share results with project teams, building confidence in communicating scientific findings.
Manage a mix of short‑term experiments and longer‑term research activities with increasing independence, demonstrating proactive ownership of your work and learning path.
Travel occasionally (~10%).
