Flagship Pioneering, Cambridge, Massachusetts, us, 02140
Company Summary
Flagship Labs 97 Inc. (FL97) is a privately held, early-stage technology company pioneering the application of artificial intelligence to transform every aspect of the scientific method. FL97 is backed by Flagship Pioneering, which brings the courage, long-term vision, and resources needed to realize unreasonable results. Join our mission-driven team and contribute to the future of science.
Our Physical Sciences effort is developing a novel AI and data-driven approach to materials discovery and development to accelerate the transition to a sustainable economy.
At FL97, we are uniquely cross-functional and collaborative. We are actively reimagining the way teams work together and communicate. Therefore, we seek individuals with an inclusive mindset and a diversity of thought. Our teams thrive in unstructured and creative environments. All voices are heard because we know that experience comes in many forms, skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way.
If this sounds like an environment you’d love to work in, even if you only have some of the experience listed below, please apply.
Responsibilities
Develop and execute synthesis methods to create solid-state inorganic nanoparticles with specific properties
Design the synthesis and, where applicable, surface modifications to integrate nanoparticles into formats suitable for characterization and testing
Work with the broader experiment team to establish nanoparticle integration strategies and performance evaluation methods
Design and perform characterization experiments to validate nanoparticle properties as-synthesized and in testbed/device-integrated states
Design data processing, data interpretation, and quality control algorithms for nanoparticle characterization data and collaborate with the computational team to implement these algorithms
Work with the automation team to design and source instrumentation to automate or otherwise accelerate nanoparticle synthesis
Work with the data science team to establish expressive machine representations of synthesis methods and recipes to enable both stringent data management and automation of the design and execution of synthesis recipes
Analyze, report, and present findings of experiments to the FL97 research team
Qualifications
Hands-on and direct experience working with multiple nanoparticle synthesis methods such as sol-gel, co-precipitation, hydrothermal synthesis, chemical vapor deposition, and physical vapor deposition
Hands-on and direct experience working with multiple nanoparticle characterization techniques such as SEM, TEM, XRD, XRF, BET, and DLS
Experience integrating nanoparticles into a variety of testbed formats while retaining functionality
Experience with nanoparticle deployment for catalysis
PhD in Chemistry, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or related field
Strong self-starter and independent thinker, with strong attention to detail
Demonstrated industry experience or academic achievement, as evidenced by publications in quality journals
Excellent communication and presentation skills, capable of conveying technical information in a clear and thorough manner
Eager to work with highly skilled and dynamic teams in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, and technical setting
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with thermocatalytic chemical transformations
Experience with electrochemical testing of nanoparticles
Experience with membrane electrode assembly manufacturing
Experience with workflow automation
Location:
Cambridge, MA
Equal Employment Opportunity
Flagship Pioneering and our ecosystem companies are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or Veteran status.
