Job Description & How to Apply Below
Hyd Regen is a growing Oxford-based biotechnology company developing innovative biocatalytic technologies to make chemical manufacturing more sustainable.
Following recent investment and growing interest from industry partners, Hyd Regen is expanding its Chemistry R&D team and looking for a Chemist to help develop and optimise its hydrogenation technology.
This is an opportunity to take your experience in catalysis and reaction development into an industrial R&D environment, working on real customer challenges and helping turn promising chemistry into commercially viable processes.
What makes this opportunity interesting?
You'll work alongside scientists specialising in chemistry, biology and process engineering, with responsibilities including:
Designing and running catalytic hydrogenation experiments using pressurised reactors and autoclaves.
Optimising reaction conditions, catalysts and reaction pathways.
Analysing experimental results and supporting process development and scale-up.
Contributing to customer-funded R&D projects and Hyd Regen's technology platform.
What experience will you need?
We're particularly interested in candidates with a PhD in Chemistry, Catalysis, Chemical Engineering or a related discipline, involving practical experience of catalytic hydrogenation or closely related reaction development.
Experience with pressurised laboratory reactors would be particularly relevant.
Previous industrial experience isn't essential. Candidates coming directly from academic research are welcome, as are those with an MSc and strong relevant industrial experience.
Benefits:
EMI share-option scheme
Private healthcare
Enhanced maternity leave
Auto-enrolment pension
25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
