Oxford, United Kingdom Seloxium Limited Full time

Seloxium Ltd. is an innovative and diverse spin-out company originating from the University of Oxford. Our focus is on transforming clean growth and the circular economy in the mining and refining sectors. We achieve this by selectively extracting high-value metals from in-process or effluent water streams. With our patented 'selective flocculation' technology, we aim to revolutionize the way these metals are mined, refined, and processed. By offering a greener and more sustainable solution, we strive to promote resource recovery and reuse.

Industrial process wastewaters and mine tailings contain various dissolved species, including valuable and strategically important metals like gold, platinum, and rare-earth metals. These metals are challenging and costly to remove using existing technology and are typically discharged and lost as 'sludge.' Seloxium is developing the Selectal range of technology to selectively extract, flocculate, and recover a wide variety of these high-value metals from process or waste streams. Through 'Aqua Mining' with Selectal, we not only combat environmental pollution but also transform process effluent treatment plants into 'resource recovery factories'.

Responsibilities

As an analytical chemist, you'll have the exciting opportunity to conduct routine and specialized tests, carefully analyze the results, and maintain laboratory equipment. Your meticulous attention to detail and strong analytical skills will be put to the test as you work with complex instruments and software.

You'll also have the support to take on additional projects that interest you, allowing you to grow both personally and professionally.

This role is perfect for individuals with a strong background in chemistry, especially in mineral analysis and polymer characterization. The ideal candidate will have experience in both routine and advanced laboratory techniques, as well as a knack for working with complex instruments and data. Additionally, you should be willing to mentor junior colleagues in our small team and effectively communicate technical information to individuals from various disciplines or with non-technical backgrounds.

Requirements

  • A postgraduate degree (PhD, MSc, etc.) in a relevant field such as chemistry, analytical chemistry, functional polymer chemistry, or environmental science.
  • Strong knowledge and practical experience in developing and validating methods for organic and inorganic analytical techniques, such as ICP-OES, thermal analysis techniques, NMR, and gel permeation chromatography.

  • Knowledge of COSHH and risk assessments in a laboratory setting.
  • Ability to translate customer requirements into technically and economically viable solutions.
  • Ability to establish positive relationships with colleagues and resolve conflicts in a considerate and professional manner.

Desirable Skills:

  1. Working knowledge of polymer chemistry, polymer analysis, wastewater treatment, or alternative flocculation technologies.
  2. Experience with selective metal separation technologies (ion exchange, membranes, solvent extraction, and electrolysis) in a manufacturing or environmental context.
  3. Experience in writing, reviewing, and improving standard operating procedures and protocols.
  4. Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
