Sr. Scientist, Visualization

Senior Scientist of Visualization Science

This role reports into the Site and Capability team. You will serve as a Senior Scientist of Visualization Science in the R&D Product Chemistry Group reporting to the group Director. The purpose of this R&D global support group is to gain insight on how our product chemistry links to product performance. Here we support our formulation teams in early-stage product development with an eye toward exploiting the chemistry/performance link toward product claims and performance visualizations.

This role will have a specific visualization focus, creating lab demonstrations which communicate the superiority of Haleon products over competitors.

Role Responsibilities

• Create meaningful visualizations of Haleon's products using various scientific techniques to communicate effectively externally.
• Lead visualization science projects from end to end. Demonstrate product/material mechanism of action or superiority in consumer understandable ways.
• Translate approved claims or technical reports into visually striking demonstrations which are scientifically defendable.
• Work with key stakeholders to align on projects/claims for which visualization projects bring value
• Design/source/hyphenate instrumentation capable of demonstrating compelling visualizations of physical/chemical properties
• Coordinate closely with other Haleon teams throughout development to deliver visualization projects on time

Other Responsibilities

Flexibility – Be able to learn new methodologies/technologies/software as needed in a fast paced role

Creativity – Hunting for new ways of showing/explaining scientific principles is a core component of the role

Critical Thinking – Discern if experiments/demonstrations will hold up to external scrutiny/challenges

Basic Qualifications:

• Success in this role will come mainly from experience, however a traditional education in Engineering and/or Chemistry/Physics is expected
• Knowledgeable about engineering and chemistry/physics principles and uses both interchangeably to solve problems and look for possibilities
• Demonstrated experience writing technical reports in the form of technical story-telling and communicating to technical and non-technical partners alike
• Have fundamental understanding of lab operations including physical/chemical characterization with various instrumentation
• Must be mechanically/electrically inclined to enable hyphenation of unusual instrument sequences and/or creation of new instrumentation
• Must thrive in evolving environments and be willing to help build out visualization capabilities and systems
• Must work as a team member and want to listen and learn
• Expected to be comfortable as a practicing Scientist where majority of time is spent in the laboratory designing / executing experiments

Preferred Qualifications:

• Passion for photography/videography and related software (Adobe Creative Cloud)
• Familiarity with 3D design software, Solid Works preferred
• Experience with coding in Python or other scripting languages
