Senior Scientist- Emulsion

Client leads the digital PCR market with its QX200 droplet digital PCR platform. You will be part of an exciting multidisciplinary R&D team of engineers, chemists, and biologists revolutionizing biological research and healthcare by developing new products in client's droplet microfluidics portfolio. You will work with fluidics engineers, chemists, and molecular biologists to develop integrated chemical and fluidic systems for reactions in emulsions. This work will span from the research stage through product launch. The successful candidate will: Invent and develop new emulsion systems for droplet-based biology Characterize and optimize multicomponent (oil, buffer, surfactant, and thermoplastic) systems Design, source, and use characterization tools and methods for liquid-liquid and liquid-solid interfaces Lead associates and junior scientists in development campaigns Analyze and synthesize existing literature and new developments in emulsion technology, and apply them to client's Digital Biology Center missions Summarize and communicate results and determine follow-on work for the team Required Skills Required: Expertise and hands-on skills in emulsion or colloid science Detailed understanding of interfacial phenomena and physical chemistry Deep knowledge of transport phenomena and fluid properties Good understanding of chemical engineering unit operations Strong initiative and focus on results Ability to thrive in a multi-disciplinary team setting collaborating with senior and junior scientists and engineers Flexible and adaptive to a rapidly changing environment Capable of developing and executing experimental protocols, and communicating findings clearly and concisely Strong oral and written communication skills Desired Expertise in water-in-oil emulsions Hands-on knowledge of molecular biology buffers and reagents Skill in generating, manipulating, and characterizing droplets
