Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription Verdox, Inc. is dedicated to reversing climate change through the development and deployment of advanced technology. The company's proprietary electro-swing process, developed at MIT, enables carbon dioxide and other acid gases to be captured with up to 80% less energy and 70% less cost than conventional approaches. Verdox is backed by institutional investors and based in Boston. See verdox.com for additional information on our technology and our vision.
Verdox seeks a Polymer Chemist to join our R D team.
Key Responsibilities
Design and synthesize polymers with specific electrochemical and physico-chemical properties
Examine and develop diverse polymer chemistry, employing various types of
polymerizations, polymer backbones, and purification techniques
Focus on developing and optimizing synthetic protocols for cost-effective polymer
synthesis and purification at the multi-kilogram scale and beyond
Perform and interpret the physical, chemical, and electrochemical characterization of monomers and polymers
Oversee quality control of polymer products
Use and maintain elements of the chemistry R D infrastructure
