Associate Scientist Jobs in Massachusetts

An Associate Scientist in the chemistry industry conducts experiments, analyses data, and documents findings related to chemical substances and compounds. They are responsible for developing new products or methods of compound identification, ensuring compliance with safety protocols, and maintaining laboratory equipment. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and knowledge of chemical compositions and reactions are crucial for this role. Moreover, proficiency in specific laboratory software and familiarity with laboratory safety procedures and protocols are necessary.
