    Research Associate Job Description

    Sylvatex is a green nanochemistry company with a mission to eliminate transportation emissions. Our bio-based nanoplatforms are engineered systems that manipulate chemicals, fabricate materials and structures, produce energy and enhance our environment by providing lower cost and/or higher-performing solutions. Our IP-protected platform and growing database address multiple billion-dollar markets, from next-generation battery materials to low-cost fuels, while significantly reducing our carbon footprint in key industrial applications.

    As a Research Associate at Sylvatex, you will support the development of new processing of cathode materials and Li-ion battery testing. You are passionate about positively impacting the environment with innovative clean energy solutions. You are proactive and capable of operating in a fast-paced startup environment with little supervision. Curiosity and optimism are two of your superpowers. You have a vision. Like a master architect, you create a roadmap and iterate and build from there when you see a path.

    This role will report to the CTO of Sylvatex.

    Responsibilities and duties include:

    • Synthesis of cathode materials
    • Scale process to kilograms
    • Work independently.

    • Prepare electrodes for battery cell assembly and support electrochemical testing.
    • Collaborate with industrial and academic partners.
    • Monitor and evaluate new developments in the literature and propose improvements for Sylvatex technology.
    • Maintain clean and well-organized lab areas, meeting all safety regulations.
    • Implement safe work practices (as defined by OSHA and company policies) to deliver an incident-free workplace.
    • Inform management and the CTO/COO of any incident within 24 hours.

    Qualifications:

    Sylvatex requires a Research Associate who can actively participate in producing cathode materials and testing battery materials. At the same time, as a technical team member, this person is also expected to contribute to the overall research and development strategy and its implementation.

    • Bachelor's or master's degree in chemistry, material science, or equivalent.
    • Minimum 1 year plus of synthesis experience in the relevant fields (chemistry, advanced materials, nanomaterials, batteries)
    • Prefer experience in operation and data analysis of XRD, SEM, PSA, and ICP
    • Demonstrated ability to adhere to safety culture.
    • Experience at a start‐up company a plus

    Capabilities:

    • Self-starter and a bias for action – does things before being asked to or forced to by events.
    • Demonstrates understanding of internal and external customer needs and exceeds expectations.
    • Promotes open and effective written and verbal communication.
    • Actively promotes a positive team spirit.
    • Actively engages and respects the diverse contributions of teams, partners, or networks.
    • Anticipates future situations and plans to meet them.
    • Demonstrates openness to new ideas.
    • Looks for ways to do things better, faster, and more efficiently.
    • Flexibility, adaptability, and success at multi‐tasking; willingness and ability to participate in multiple programs simultaneously.
