[50001087-RTS3] Research Engineer, Materials Science & Chemistry

AI-Driven Polymer Design Engineer

We are seeking a motivated Research Engineer to design and optimise functional polymer systems using AI-enabled approaches, with an initial focus on stimuli-responsive and hydrogel formulations for biomedical and delivery applications, expanding into polymers for other key industry applications. The role bridges polymer chemistry, physical chemistry, and machine learning, contributing to the development of self-driving lab and high-throughput materials discovery capabilities.

Job Responsibilities

• Synthesise, formulate, and characterise functional polymers with tunable self-assembly, gelation, and mechanical properties.
• Develop predictive (classification and regression) models that relate synthesis, processing conditions, formulation, and structure to material behaviour and performance.
• Engineer descriptors and features that improve model interpretability and predictive accuracy.
• Establ...
