About the role

Experimental Materials Laboratory Scientist role in London to realize, process, and characterize novel materials predicted by generative AI models, bridging physical sciences with data-driven research and collaborating with AI researchers, software engineers, and automation roboticists.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct structural, compositional, and physical property characterization across metrology platforms to validate synthesized materials.
  • Provide systematic experimental feedback and guide active learning pipelines in collaboration with computational and ML researchers.
  • Translate benchtop protocols into high-throughput automated workflows with automation engineers.
  • Execute experimental synthesis and processing workflows across inorganic, solid-state, thin-film, or other chemical routes to realize target materials candidates.
  • Maintain thorough data hygiene, capturing comprehensive experimental telemetry and protocols within digital laboratory systems (ELN/LIMS) to support ML datasets.

Qualifications

  • PhD in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related science discipline, or equivalent practical.
  • 2 years of experience with laboratory synthesis, preparation, or characterization of materials.
  • Experience working in cross-functional or interdisciplinary technical/scientific teams (e.g., across engineering, computing, materials science, or chemistry).
  • Experience troubleshooting, root-cause diagnosing, and resolving technical or experimental bottlenecks in a scientific research or laboratory environment.
  • Submission of scientific publications, conference proceedings, patents, or technical white papers in Materials Science, Physics, or a related discipline.
