Greenitio Pte Ltd – Chemistry/ Materials Science/ Chemical Engineering Intern

Greenitio is a Singapore-based startup using computational simulations and green chemistry to design and synthesize novel sustainable (bio-based, biodegradable) alternatives to microplastic ingredients found in products with high-environmental impact. We are creating unique biomolecules that aim to exhibit comparable performance and provide similar functionalities to of petroleum-derived materials minus the pollution. Because climate change waits for no one, our computer-aided design approach accelerates development by reducing cost and time of discovery by at least 10 fold.

On-going projects involve designing and synthesizing biodegradable polymers, green chemicals, and bio-based materials. Visit www.greenitio.com for more information.

Ideally, you should:

• Have extensive experience in either organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, synthesis of materials.
• Have a minimum bachelor's degree or pursue one in chemistry/ materials science/ chemical engineering/ medicinal chemistry/ biochemistry/ biological science/ environmental science or related disciplines.
• Have more than 6 months of working experience in a wet laboratory. Must have prior knowledge of handling organic solvents and chemicals and setting up chemical reactions.
• Knowledge of green chemistry and its principles are preferred.

• You will work with Greenitio scientists to help in day to day laboratory activities.
• Help set up the reaction, monitor reactions, and fundamental laboratory analysis.
• Keep a record of laboratory notebooks for all experiments and day-to-day activities.
• Ordering of chemicals and consumables from registered vendors.
• Help organize and maintain chemicals and consumable stocks.
• Keeping the lab clean and tidy all the time.

Benefits:

• You will learn many research techniques related to novel green chemistry, bio-based materials synthesis, and analytical chemistry.
• Learn how to bring a product from lab to commercial scale.
• Will be exposed to computational chemistry simulation and learn how to match experimental data with theoretical predictions.
• Acquire many soft skills like time management, project management, problem-solving, lab organization, etc. Exposure to startup culture and their thought process help you excel in your future job.
• Future employment opportunities in the company.
