About you
With a strong background in Polymer, Sciences combined preferably with Colloids Sciences, you will work on the formulations and their applications of new Home Care cleaning products targeting improved sustainability through the selection of greener raw materials leading to better cleaning and longer lasting garments through care agents under real consumer conditions. The main objectives of the internship will be first to develop new testing protocols, screen new materials in Home Care applications, use analytical tools to understand the mechanism of action of best-performing materials to finally further optimize the formulations and/or materials based on their mechanism of actions. For the most optimized formulations/materials, you will benchmark them vs. best-in-class solutions to demonstrate their improved sustainability and quantify it.
You are currently studying for a Master’s Degree or equivalent in Polymer Sciences. You have experience working in a lab and safety is your priority. You have experience in Polymers, Surfactants, and Formulations. You have a passion for applying innovative ideas and demonstrate curiosity and a critical mindset in your activities. You have strong scientific method, statistics, and project management skills and excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
You can start between January and March 2023 for a period of 6 months (exact timing to be discussed).
