Membrane R&D Intern

What your day might look like:
As a Membrane R&D Intern you will work closely with a small R&D team advancing cutting edge membrane technology from chemical selection through to process plant scale-up. Your daily rhythm will involve coordinating with an experienced researcher, setting-up and executing the next set of experimental tasks and analyzing data. Specific research tasks could include membrane fabrication, membrane testing, system or process optimization and equipment selection with outside vendors.

Key Responsibilities:

• Coating membrane samples for testing
• Operating membrane testing equipment
• Recording, documenting, and analyzing experimental data
• Optimizing experimental setups and testing protocols
• Identifying issues related to membrane performance, experimental setup, or data acquisition
• Selecting equipment from outside vendors
• Supporting scale-up of equipment and processes
• Developing detailed research and engineering reports
• Presenting research findings to internal teams, collaborators, and stakeholders, including both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Collaborating effectively with interdisciplinary teams, including R&D researchers, engineers, etc.
