Your Mission
Advance thermocatalysis from hypothesis to proof in real-world programs Dunia is building AI for one of the hardest unsolved problems in science: turning materials discovery from an academic, trial-and-error process into a programmable, scalable discipline.
As Research Scientist, Thermocatalysis, you will own applied thermocatalysis research tied directly to proof-of-concept (PoC) projects and customer programs. Your role is to turn hypotheses into validated results that inform decisions, models, and next steps.
This is a delivery-oriented scientific role embedded in an end-to-end discovery system.
Your tasks will include:
Own applied thermocatalysis research
- Design, execute, and iterate thermocatalysis experiments aligned with program goals
- Develop and refine experimental protocols as understanding evolves
- Ensure results are reproducible, interpretable, and decision-relevant
Work within an AI-native discovery loop
- Collaborate closely with AI, automation, and materials teams
- Help translate experimental workflows into machine-readable representations
- Provide experimental insight that informs model development and active learning
Translate science into outcomes
- Analyze and interpret experimental results with an applied lens
- Communicate findings clearly to internal stakeholders and program leads
- Connect experimental outcomes to customer and PoC objectives
Operate with rigor and discipline
- Maintain high standards for lab documentation, safety, and data quality
- Contribute to continuous improvement of experimental workflows
- Stay current on relevant thermocatalysis literature and techniques
Qualifications And Requirements
- PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or a closely related field, with3–6 years of post-PhD experience in applied catalysis or industrial R&D
- Strong hands-on experimental background in thermocatalysis or closely related catalytic systems
- Demonstrated experience designing, executing, and iterating experiments under real-world constraints
- Comfortable working in multidisciplinary teams spanning chemistry, AI, and automation
- Applied, delivery-oriented mindset paired with a high bar for scientific rigor
- Clear communicator who can translate experimental results into decisions and next steps
- English fluency, additional languages preferred
