Research And Development Chemist

The Role: Join a deep-tech startup at the convergence of reticular chemistry, health, and design. Help develop the material foundation for a new product category by designing, optimizing, and scaling novel MOFs/COFs for consumer applications.

Responsibilities: Synthesize and functionalize MOFs/COFs for selective molecule filtration, particularly ethanol Work alongside Prof. Yaghi's lab and Lattek's product/engineering teams Test materials under realistic operating conditions Research regeneration cycles, stability factors, and consumer-grade formulations Support IP development and scale-up strategies

What You Bring: PhD or MS in Chemistry, Materials Science, or Chemical Engineering Extensive hands-on MOF/COF experience—synthesis, modification, testing Ability to iterate between design, functional testing, and application

Bonus: flow synthesis, polymer scaffolds, GRAS/safety, sorbent regeneration experience Ideal: passion for translating materials from research to products Tools We Use PXRD, BET, FTIR, TGA, NMR, UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, flow reactors, gloveboxes, batch reactors Why You'll Love Working Here Direct collaboration with Prof. Yaghi and UC Berkeley Ground-floor opportunity with an early-stage team Work on meaningful problems in consumer health and wellness Competitive salary and first-employee equity package Culture that values scientific rigor, product excellence, and mission focus Seniority level Seniority level Entry level Employment type Employment type Full-time Job function Job function Research, Analyst, and Information Technology Industries Technology, Information and Internet Referrals increase your chances of interviewing at Lattek by 2x Sign in to set job alerts for “Research And Development Chemist” roles.
