Lincore is redefining critical materials refining with a focus on localizing black mass refining operations, a crucial step in battery recycling. Our proprietary electro-metallurgical refining technology extracts Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, and Manganese from black mass and processes them into low-carbon precursors that are ready to use for manufacturing new batteries needed for our energy transition journey.
Role Overview
We are looking for a detail-oriented R&D Intern to work on a battery recycling project, focusing on impurity removal and battery precursor synthesis activities. You will work closely with senior researchers, gaining hands-on experience in R&D and scale-up activities. If you enjoy building, experimenting, and solving messy problems from first principles, this role is for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and run experiments for impurity removal (Cu, Fe, Al) and battery precursor (pCAM) synthesis.
- Perform wet chemistry (precipitation, filtration) and process development
- Analyze experimental outcomes and characterization test results (e.g., ICP-OES, XRD, SEM)
- Document experiments and contribute to technical discussions
- Support preparation of technical summaries and internal reports
- Maintain lab operations, safety, and equipment
Requirements
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, or a related field
- Expected graduation no later than June 2027. Candidates graduating in 2026 are welcome to apply.
- Strong interest in battery materials, battery recycling, or electrochemistry
- Detail-oriented, organized, and proactive in execution
- Prior research experience (coursework projects or internships) is preferred.
Additional details
- Role is based at our NUS Lab, Singapore.
- Full-time role with 40 hours/week with a min 6 months commitment.
- We are open to long-term internships (6 to 9 months). Candidates who can start in May 2026 and commit beyond 6 months are strongly encouraged to apply.
- Submit your resume and cover letter highlighting your interest in this position and your availability.
Kindly note that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
