Adiabatic Materials | Somerville, MA Reinvent chemistry. Decarbonize industry. Electrify the future. Today, most chemicals are still made using heat from burning fossil fuels in energy-intensive, polluting processes. Backed by Voyager Ventures.
About the role
We have built a novel and differentiated chemistry platform, and see many opportunities beyond what we have already explored. Your job will be to expand its capabilities and demonstrate its value on real pharmaceutical and fine chemical targets. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- PhD in chemistry or a closely related field with a research focus in organic synthesis: new reactions, condition optimization, novel compounds
- Deep and diverse hands-on experience across many reaction types
- Standard air-free technique on a Schlenk line, in vials and flasks
- Independent purification by column chromatography and characterization by NMR, IR, MS, UV-Vis, HPLC and GC (some hands-on, some via analytical labs)

The Role
We have built a novel and differentiated chemistry platform, and see many opportunities beyond what we have already explored. Your job will be to expand its capabilities and demonstrate its value on real pharmaceutical and fine chemical targets.
Working closely with our Chief Scientific Officer, you’ll identify and validate new reaction classes, devise routes that take advantage of our chemistry, and turn those ideas into robust experimental results. You’ll own the synthesis end-to-end: designing and running reactions, developing and optimizing new transformations, and rapidly purifying, characterizing, and reporting products.
Electrochemistry experience is not required. We can get an excellent synthetic chemist up to speed on our system quickly. What matters most is strong synthetic intuition, speed at the bench, and the ability to take a target from route concept through validated chemistry.
What You'll Do
Synthetic Route Execution: Take high-level direction, then develop and run whole routes independently: read the procedure, execute it correctly, adapt it where it doesn’t transfer, and deliver assigned targets.
Reaction Development: Develop and optimize conditions for...
