Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
You will lead the development and optimization of solid polymer formulations using high-throughput melt processing and characterization techniques. You will also collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate experimental data into autonomous closed-loop workflows and machine learning models.
A PhD in Polymer Science, Materials Science, Chemistry, or Chemical Engineering is required, along with at least 3 years of postdoctoral or industry experience. Candidates must possess hands-on expertise in melt polymer formulation, extrusion, and standard characterization techniques.
As a Scientist II/Senior Melt Polymer Scientist on the Materials Formulation team at Lila Sciences, you will drive the development and optimization of solid polymers, such as hot melt adhesive systems, working at the intersection of polymer science, formulation chemistry, and Lila's autonomous science platform. You will design and execute high-throughput melt processing and characterization experiments that generate critical rheological, chemical, and mechanical data to guide adhesive formulation and materials discovery. Working alongside experimentalists, engineers, and machine learning scientists, you will build scalable polymer processing and testing workflows that accelerate the path to scientific superintelligence in solid polymer materials.
We offer competitive base compensation with bonus potential and generous early-stage equity. Your final offer will reflect your background, expertise, and expected impact.
