Exxon Mobil's state-of-the-art campus north of Houston serves as the corporation’s global headquarters and is home to its Upstream, Product Solutions, and Low Carbon Solutions companies and their associated service groups. The facility opened in 2014 and was built to accommodate more than 10,000 employees and visitors.

By bringing many functional groups together, the campus provides employees with the tools and capabilities needed today, and in the future, to achieve business objectives and accelerate the discovery of new resources, technologies and products. It was designed to foster improved collaboration, creativity and innovation and enhance the company’s ability to attract, develop and retain the top talent in the industry.

The campus was constructed to the highest standards of energy efficiency and environmental stewardship. Its design incorporates extensive research into best practices in building and workplace design through extensive benchmarking of the world’s top academic, research, and corporate facilities.

The successful candidate will have a strong background in organic, physical organic, or materials chemistry, with expertise in organic molecular design, chemical synthesis, and mechanistic understanding of molecular systems. The ability to develop and test structure-property hypotheses through synthesis, characterization, and experimental investigation is required.

The candidate should have experience studying molecular interactions, phase behavior, and the relationships between molecular structure and physical and chemical properties. Candidates should also be well-versed in molecular characterization techniques such as NMR, GC, LC, mass spectrometry, and related analytical methods.

The successful candidate will contribute both independently and as part of multidisciplinary teams to advance research programs across a variety of strategic technology areas. The candidate is expected to build productive collaborations both internally and with external research organizations.
