LC Columns R&D; Scientist

Want to be at the cutting edge of Research and Development? Join the team that's taking world-leading Agilent products from design to production. You will apply your experience in porous fine particle technology and/or your training in colloid science, material science, polymer chemistry or inorganic chemistry to design novel separations media consisting of porous particles and/or alternative morphology's.

This requires an understanding of fine particle technology, including how to design, make and characterize them. You will thoroughly test and qualify these new medias for use in high performance and/or preparative liquid chromatography applications and support the transfer of these new products from the R&D lab to full scale production. I

n addition, you will be expected to:
* Learn and develop your project management skills.
* Manage Projects as appropriate according to the Agilent Project Lifecycle for new product development.
* Participate on Project Triads as R&D representative.
