Senior Scientist, PhD, Analytical Instrumentation Design, R&D, Spectrometry, COR7663

A Senior Scientist opportunity has arisen within the innovation function of an established detection technology business. This is a genuinely research-led role, sitting at the earliest stages of the product lifecycle — from concept and feasibility through to proof of concept and new technology evaluation. Could this be the role where your scientific expertise shapes the next generation of detection technology?

The Role

The Senior Scientist will work as a core member of a multidisciplinary innovation team, taking ownership of scientific work packages from initial design through to experimental execution and conclusion. Day-to-day, this means designing and building experimental equipment, planning and carrying out original research, and critically evaluating data to inform product and technology development. You will provide technical guidance to colleagues across engineering and product functions, lead internal and external technical discussions, and contribute meaningfully to project planning and review cycles.

The Senior Scientist will also play a supervisory role, overseeing the work of other scientists within the team, identifying opportunities for external collaboration, and providing hands-on support to off-site trials as needed. This is a role that rewards independent thinking, self...
