SINTEF is seeking a motivated and skilled Analytical Chemist to strengthen our multidisciplinary research team. In this role, you will apply state-of-the-art analytical techniques to solve complex scientific and industrial challenges, supporting projects that contribute to a more sustainable and innovative society.

You will join a team of highly skilled scientists and engineers and have the opportunity to work across diverse research areas including the green shift, carbon capture, emission monitoring, health, nanomedicine, food/feed, material and mineral characterization, process development and industrial measurements. We operate a modern and diverse platform with analytical instrumentation such as LC-MS/MS, GC-FID and GC-MS/MS, ICP-MS including LA-ICP-MS, SEC-MALLS, FFF, and high-resolution and other advanced mass spectrometers (HRMS/FTICR, QTOF, CDMS) with different sample introduction and ionisation capabilities. Our aim is to be a leading R&D partner in physico-chemical characterization and advanced organic and inorganic analysis in Europe.

Your responsibilities

• Contribute to research and development projects in collaboration with scientists, engineers, and industry partners.
• Plan, perform, and report experiments
• Develop advanced analytical workflows – from sample preparation to instrument methods
• Handle, visualize, and interpret analytical data
• Generate research projects, write proposals, and contribute to project management.
• Support other researchers and industry partners on how to use analytical chemistry to solve scientific challenges.
• Dissemination of research findings in scientific publications and to the public

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for a new colleague who is committed to applied science and has an interest in solving industrial and societal challenges using analytical chemistry.

We believe that you have excellent analytical and technical skills, particularly in mass spectrometry techniques and instrumentation, and an interest in developing and applying skills in the processing and visualization of large analytical datasets.

You are quality-conscious and proactive, with a commitment to continuous improvement for yourself and the team around you.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in a relevant subject area
• Competence and experience in mass spectrometry, and chromatographic and other separation techniques, such as GC, HPLC, IC, SEC and FFF.
