Do you want to work cross-organisational in a highly specialised and project-based setting, where you get to deep-dive into all stages of our project development? Are you motivated by the chance to really impact the development of our products and get close to our users?

Focus on adhesive development in cross-organisational projects

As our new Senior Adhesive Scientist, you will develop adhesive formulations for our products. Doing so, you will work as a subject matter expert on various projects alongside project managers, laboratory technicians, product designers and other specialists as part of cross-functional teams.

Formulate recipes within pressure-sensitive adhesives;
Identify new relevant polymer materials to investigate;
Do material characterisation such as rheology and other relevant methods;
Document material properties and performance.

A scientific background and hands-on experience

You thrive when you get to do what you do best - intensively utilising your expert knowledge and spending your time with your head in the game.

Furthermore, we imagine that you:

Have either a PhD or a master’s degree, most likely within polymer chemistry, but it could also be within e.g. material technology or organic chemistry;
Have solid hands-on experience with polymer chemistry;
Have experience with relevant material characterisation methods;
Understand the importance of documentation when working in a regulated industry;
Speak and write English effortlessly.
