Job description
Details for the position are as follows: 1 year contract to start
Location: Clark, NJ -100% onsite
Rate: $36.77 an hour
Job Description: This is a unique opportunity for a recent PhD graduate to apply rigorous academic training to real industrial challenges - pioneering new analytical methodologies to decode the behavior of complex fluids and multi-phasic cosmetic systems and playing a critical role in bridging fundamental science with tangible product innovation.
Your mission will be to characterize and understand the mechanisms of surface and interfacial phenomena, as well as bulk flow properties, that drive the stability, performance, and sensory experience of our products. This role offers an unparalleled springboard into industrial R&I - combining world-class laboratory access with the chance to shape products that reach consumers around the globe.
Pioneer new methodologies - designing and developing advanced protocols for the characterization of complex fluids and multi-phasic systems, including emulsions, dispersions, and foams, that push the boundaries of what we understand about our formulations.
Master multi-scale rheological characterization - conducting in-depth studies on both Interfacial Rheology, to understand the viscoelastic properties of adsorbed layers, and Bulk Rheology, to evaluate flow behavior, yield stress, and thixotropy across a range of product systems.
Unlock the science of surfaces and interfaces - utilizing state-of-the-art tensiometers to measure static and dynamic surface and interfacial tension, generating critical insights into surfactant kinetics and emulsification processes.
Translate complex science into actionable insight - synthesizing and interpreting sophisticated physical chemistry data, and communicating findings in a clear, compelling way that empowers formulation chemists and transversal teams to make informed product decisions.
Be the scientific bridge across the organization - acting as a key pivot point between the Transversal Research team and various Métiers (Brands), collaborating closely to solve real technical challenges related to product application and durability.
Required Skills: A recently completed PhD in Physical Chemistry, Colloid Science, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field is required.
Deep knowledge in the characterization of complex fluids, including a strong understanding of the relationship between microstructure and macroscopic properties.
Proven hands-on experience with tensiometry techniques, including Wilhelmy plate, Du Noüy ring, and pendant drop methods.
Strong background in interfacial rheology, including oscillating drop/bubble and bicone methodologies.
Deep understanding of surfactant science, self-assembly mechanisms, and stabilization dynamics in colloidal systems.
