Associate Chemist Jobs in Washington

An Associate Chemist plays a vital role in the chemistry industry, conducting a wide range of laboratory tests, procedures, and analyses to support research and development works. They are responsible for preparing test solutions, compounds, and reagents for laboratory personnel to conduct tests. They also analyze organic and inorganic compounds to determine their chemical and physical properties, composition, structure, relationships, and reactions, using chromatography, spectroscopy, and spectrophotometry techniques. Important skills for this role include analytical skills, attention to detail, communication skills, and problem-solving abilities.
