We are seeking a highly motivated and collaborative Research Scientist with skills and experience in natural products chemistry to join our dynamic research team. The ideal candidate will have research experience in chemical compounds derived from natural sources, such as sugars, polysaccharides, flavors and fragrances, focusing on their structure determination and their applications in new forms of tobacco products.
Key Responsibilities:
1.Prepare and analyze samples of various formulation types, including natural polymer material complex, to determine the flow and deformation of materials.
2.Design and execute natural polymer crosslinking via reactive extrusion to improve material properties like shape stability and mechanical strength.
3.Perform instrumental analysis (GC-MS, HPLC, LC-MS) to study flavor chemistry and molecular mechanisms.
4.Evaluate flavor, create new flavor blends and make recommendations to satisfy project requirements.
5.Collaborate with cross-functional teams to innovate and improve flavor and fragrance formulations based on sensory feedback and market trends.
6.Maintain detailed records of formulations, tests, and evaluations to support product development and compliance with industry standards.
7.Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory changes in tobacco sector.
8.Adhere to laboratory protocols and safety programs of safe handling of chemicals and equipment.
Qualifications:
1.Ph.D. degree in Organic Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry, Material Science, food Science or a related discipline with 0-2 years of relevant experience.
2.Proven experience in natural products chemistry, flavor chemistry and formulation design.
3.Knowledge of polymer material structure-property relationships and analytical characterization techniques (Rheometer, DSC, TGA, FTIR, NMR, particle size analyzer etc.).
4.Competence with the use of modern spectroscopic methods to determine structure of organic compounds, including HPLC, GC, HPLC-MS. Experience in maintaining related instruments is highly preferred.
5.Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and contribute to a positive and productive work culture.
