Formulation Chemist / Technical Co-Founder, Crop Nutrition & Weed Control

The role

Deep Science Ventures is seeking an exceptional formulation chemist to join the team of a new venture at the intersection of crop nutrition and weed control.

What you'll do

• Define the fertiliser formulation and coating strategy and personally execute experimental work at the bench
• Design and iterate coating systems based on release kinetics, biological performance, manufacturability and cost of goods
• Take formulations from bench towards pilot scale, identifying the critical technical and scale-up risks along the way
• Define product specifications that are technically robust and commercially viable
• Establish the chemistry capability within a shared laboratory, including selecting equipment, reagents and experimental infrastructure

What it takes

• PhD or equivalent technical depth in Chemistry, Materials Science, Polymer Science, Biochemistry or a related discipline
• Significant industry R&D experience developing formulations or coatings from bench towards pilot scale
• Deep expertise in controlled-release formulation/coating systems
• Hands-on experience with fluid-bed coating or closely analogous coating processes
• Strong understanding of film properties, coating integrity and dissolution/release kinetics
• Experience working with biopolymers or polymer modification and characterisation

What you'll bring
