  • Formulation Scientist - Dietary Supplement

    Pave Talent 4.5company rating

    Research scientist job in Winchester, KY

    Our client is expanding beyond the CBD space into broader nutraceutical and dietary supplement categories. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Dietary Supplement Formulator to join our team. This role is critical in supporting the sales team as they build out new business lines; you will be "building the plane while flying it." The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment with some "gray area," where they must act quickly to support urgent sales requests. You will not be siloed; unlike roles in large corporations, you will handle end-to-end responsibilities including sourcing and costing, as there is no separate procurement team for these tasks. Key Responsibilities Rapid Prototyping & Sales Support: Develop rapid-turnaround formulations to support the sales team with realistic, deliverable products. Cost Analysis & Procurement: Source raw materials and calculate formulation costs independently, as you will not have a dedicated procurement or costing team to rely on. Cross-Category Formulation: Develop and refine formulations across various delivery systems, including liquids and topicals. Scale-Up Management: Oversee the scaling of formulas from benchtop to production, ensuring commercial viability and troubleshooting issues as they arise. Regulatory & Quality: Ensure all formulations meet regulatory standards within an FDA-registered cGMP facility. Qualifications Education: Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biology, Food Science, or a related field. Experience: 3-5 years in dietary supplement or nutraceutical formulation. Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of active ingredients, delivery systems, and excipients. Generalist Mindset: Experience wearing "multiple hats" in smaller/mid-sized companies, avoiding siloed function. Entrepreneurial Spirit: Comfortable with ambiguity and urgent timelines to support sales initiatives.

  • Modeling Plasma Material Interactions in Fusion Reactors - Research Assistant/Associate/Full Professor

    Knoxville 3.3company rating

    Research scientist job in Knoxville, TN

    The University of Tennessee has an opening for a Research Assistant/Associate Professor in the area of integrated plasma - material interaction modeling for fusion reactors. The successful candidate will be working with a new University of Tennessee-Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UTORII) project to develop integrated models predicting fusion plasma facing armor component performance and using this insight in developing materials for extreme applications with a focus on fusion environments. This work will be focused on utilizing a suite of computational boundary plasma physics and multiscale materials modeling techniques ranging from the SOL-PS and GITR codes for boundary plasma and impurity modeling, in addition to first principles- based electronic structure models to molecular dynamics and mesoscale models such as kinetic Monte Carlo or spatially-dependent reaction-diffusion-advection cluster dynamics. The integrated modeling of plasma material interactions also requires experience with code coupling frameworks such the integrated plasma simulator (IPS) framework to manage complex workflows associated with coupling plasma and material modeling codes. The research faculty will work collaboratively with a team of faculty, postdoctoral associates, and students in Nuclear Engineering (NE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), and Physics, as well as scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Demonstrated Research Skills Strong communication skills and a demonstrated ability to work in a collaborative team environment spanning experiments and modeling. A clear path to independence as a researcher is desired, although collaboration with more senior investigators will be expected. Since the investigator may participate in providing some level of instruction in accord with the UT-ORII mission, some formal teaching experience is desirable. A commitment to mentoring junior investigators who will work with the Research Faculty is important and, if available, demonstrated experience is a plus. Required: PhD in Nuclear Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Pyhysics, Materials Science, Chemistry, or other discipline related to development of Materials for Extremes. Significant research experience following the doctoral degree is desired, with a documented publication record. Demonstrated experience with integrated plasma - materials interaction modeling within a code coupling paradigm. Experience with obtaining funding and student mentoring is beneficial. Candidates with experience in more than one discipline, or interest in collaboration across these disciplines, are preferred. However, candidates who can define a unique area are also encouraged. This position require the ability to be granted a site-access badge for the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). Additional Information About Position This is a 12-month, non-tenure track position. The appointment will be with the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The position will be implemented as an initial three-year contract with full salary support for the first year, followed by a gradual decrease in salary coverage such that the successful applicant will receive 50% salary support in year 5 (if renewed after the third year) and is expected to receive extramural funding by year 3 or earlier. The applicant will be expected to recruit multiple graduate students by year three. Continuation of the position will depend on the success of the hire and the team in attracting multi-year funding. A competitive startup package including support for PhD students and budget for equipment will be offered. Salary and title/rank will be determined commensurate with experience. Benefits will be typical of exempt employees at the University of Tennessee.
