About the role

Description Research Assistant/Lab co-ops will get the opportunity to actively investigate subjects in a vast range of chemistry and engineering disciplines. Predominately, we focus around chemical processing engineering but other fields, such as biosystems, mechanical and materials engineering along with chemistry and other lab research disciplines are used routinely. We truly cover every aspect of process development; from conception through research and development and onto engineering scale-up (from lab to pilot to full/commercial) and engineering implementation. This is combined with all other requirements in engineering analysis, including product viability and justification from an economic standpoint, prediction in total process variability and design considerations therein, etc.
