The opportunity A university-backed materials scale-up is developing a new generation of self-healing polymer materials for demanding industrial applications.
The technology is already functional and validated at lab scale.
The next step is to push material performance further, explore new chemistries, and prepare the ground for industrialisation.
Work on a breakthrough self-healing polymer technology with no direct market equivalent
• Join very early: small team (≈7 people), secured public funding (€1M), ongoing investor discussions
• This is a core R&D role.

University spin-off transitioning from academic research to private scale-up
• Industrial partnerships already in place
• Your objective is to finalise the R&D phase by tackling unresolved material challenges.
Explore and design new polymer chemistries
• Analyse failures, iterate, document results and propose next steps
• Communicate results clearly within a small, expert team
Lab work is central.
Direct manager: senior polymer scientist
• R&D team: currently 2 people
• Close collaboration between materials, testing and business teams
• All necessary equipment, tools and training are provided

Propose and test new ideas proactively
• Master’s or PhD in chemistry, materials science, or polymers
• 0–3 years of experience in industry or applied research
• Solid foundation in polymer chemistry and characterisation
Work mode: hybrid, but mostly on-site due to lab work
• Contract: permanent
• Clear feedback at each stage

You are looking for a desk-only role with minimal lab work
