Chemistry/Chemical Engineering Co-op Position – Nanomaterial processing
Full Job Description
We are Nano and Micro Systems Lab (NMSL) at Department of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering, University of Waterloo. We manufacture smart water sensors for real-time monitoring of Canadian watersheds’ quality. This work has been funded by Canadian Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems Agency (MITACS) and MANTECH based in Guelph, ON, Canada. MANTECH manufactures innovative water quality analysis systems that help industrial facilities, laboratories and utilities deliver clean, safe water and protect the environment. The sensing material is TiO2 based slides, which is produced by wet chemistry. Over the last 2 years, we improved the sensing cell and next 12 months, we are anticipating rapid growth of our manufacturing capacities by integrating different production techniques.
Duties and Responsibilities
- Perform the gel fabrication process independently.
- Document all the measurement records thoroughly.
- Troubleshoot basic problems during the materials fabrication process.
- You will be expected to be fully integrated into wet chemistry in the laboratory and optimize the slide manufacturing recipe with Ph.D. students, as well as be directly involved in discussions and reporting.
Key Qualifications
- Undergraduate student in chemistry or chemical engineering.
- Experience with basic laboratory equipments and wet chemistry.
- Self-motivated with a track record of learning new skills and applying them to achieve results.
- Ability to adjust to multitasks and fast-changing tasks.
- High attention to detail.
- Work safely and follow lab safety protocols.
Desirable Qualifications
- Experience in gel fabrication
- Have experience in working in chemistry laboratories and making advanced materials
Job Title: Internship/Co-op
