Sr. Analytical Chemist

Department Summary

The Institute for Carbon Management (ICM) is a cross-campus technology-translation entity at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). ICM translates pioneering carbon management solutions from the laboratory bench-scale to pre-commercial / commercial-scale devices, prototypes, and software solutions. ICM's activities span two major focus areas : (1) Technologies for carbon dioxide removal, utilization, and avoidance, and (2) Technologies for creating new supply chains, and processing approaches for critical materials and elements (e.g., Li, Ni, Co, Mn, Mo) that are foundational to accelerating the clean energy transition, as well as reducing the carbon footprint of extractive processes. ICM is organized into action teams that are convergent, agile, and world-class. These action teams have enabled ICM-born technologies to be awarded the NRG COSIA Carbon XPRIZE, the 2021 Liveability Challenge, the 2023 Time Magazine Best in Sustainability Technology, and the 2023 Grand Award Winner of the Engineering category by Popular Science magazine, among others. ICM's technologies are now being commercialized via spin-out companies, including CarbonBuilt Inc., Concrete-AI Inc., and Equatic Inc.

Position Summary

ICM is seeking a Sr. Analytical Chemist to join its latest cutting-edge action team with the potential for carbon removal at a global scale. This position will assist a team of dedicated researchers in the analysis of samples resulting from lab-scale and pilot-scale (field) experiments. The ideal candidate is independent, meticulous, and has a strong knowledge in the operation and maintenance of various analytical instrumentation (solid and solution phase) as well as in the application of rigorous quality control.
