Project chemist vs research chemist

Differences between project chemist and research chemist duties and responsibilities

Project chemist example responsibilities.

• Achieve and maintain ISO 9001-2000 certification by creating and implementing policies and serving as management representative.
• Use LIMS to monitor samples world-wide and communicate with global sites in order to keep track of data for specific projects.
• Review project-specific sampling and analysis plans and subsequent translation of those requirements into the laboratory information management system (LIMS).
• Take initiative to be cross-train in chemistry methods used by the company to perform additional tests that ensure uninterrupt laboratory operation.
• Perform testing on gas chromatograph to verify PCB contamination levels.

Research chemist example responsibilities.

• Manage the CDS and LIMS systems for the institute.
• Manage and record experimental data with lab management software (LIMS).
• Manage projects involving the development of GC/MS methods, particle collection systems, and Raman spectral database creation.
• Characterize the particles using SEM, DSC, IR, and UV-Vis.
• Identify sample structure using microscopy, crystallography, NMR, UV/VIS, GC and AAS.
• Develop GC & FTIR instrumental methods of analysis to support quality of incoming raw materials to ensure quality of finish products.
