What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Research Scientist, Process Engineering and Safety, PSG, PE&SD, ISCE2 position at ASTAR Research?
Principal Research Scientist, Process Engineering and Safety, PSG, PE&SD, ISCE2
Posting Date : 13 Feb 2025 Closing Date : 14 Apr 2025
Purpose of Job
A research scientist is needed to work on several low carbon process development / safety projects involving monitoring, troubleshooting and optimizing processes or experimental rigs that handle toxic and / or flammable gases (e.g. ammonia, hydrogen) at pilot-scale leading up to a technology transfer. Candidates for this position are expected to be able to coordinate and supervise senior research engineers and junior scientists across the assigned research projects with time and project management skills to deliver results under tight timelines.
This research scientist needs to develop detailed ammonia-hydrogen facility / process designs and parametric studies for HAZOP, FMEA and QRA. These assessments will form the basis for the identification of critical scenarios needed to model and simulate toxic dispersion, fire and deflagration / detonation. Apart from the ability to apply common PHA tools, the work will entail R&D into the use of generative AI and machine learning to assist and accelerate process design and safety / risk assessments.
ISCE 2 is looking for a highly self-driven and meticulous individual who has the strong ability to multi-task and a potential for scientific / technical leadership. The candidate should have a good research and process industry experience that provides them with an understanding and knowledge of the underlying key process / chemical engineering and scientific principles of low carbon technologies and process safety.
Key Accountabilities
- Responsible for providing scientific and technical direction, development, design, and scale up of process safety technologies.
- Responsible for developing new projects, including timelines, milestones, methodological approaches, expected results and necessary resources.
- Responsible for executing or planning / directing laboratory-based or pilot-based experiments to support process development, scale-up campaigns and process optimisation leading up to technology transfer.
- Lead or support a multi-disciplinary team of scientists and engineers through technical challenges and contribute to the successful completion of projects.
- Supervise, coordinate and mentor junior research scientists and engineers.
- Engage with various industry / academic collaborators and external stakeholders (e.g. public agencies). Presentation and sharing of knowledge regularly i.e. communicate effectively (written and orally) on project findings and status to internal and external stakeholders.
- Results documentation, writing and review of technical reports, scientific journal publications, patents, etc.
