Post doc description
This Post\u2010Doctoral R&D chemist position is in HP\u2019s imaging and printing business in our Corvallis, Oregon facility.
The work will be focused on development of new ink formulations through a combination of empirical design and
modeling methods.
Our group is responsible for the design and formulation of inkjet printing inks including the characterization of the
print attributes and robustness. This project will focus on developing components that expand various ink
attributes such as optical density and durability on different media. The project will also involve optimizing the
new inks for drop formation and the printing process. Part of the role is to collaborate with the printer
component designers to implement system level changes to balance tradeoffs in the various components.
Aspects of this role include:
\uf0b7 Component development
\uf0b7 Formulation design (includes design for performance, manufacturing and chemical regulatory guidelines)
\uf0b7 Print system characterization
\uf0b7 Cross functional\/ pan global team participation and leadership
\uf0b7 External supplier material co\u2010development and manufacturing
Our group is part of a chemistry center of excellence that develops inks for the different print businesses. While
we work across several sites, this project will partner with colleagues at our Corvallis, Oregon location. The
Corvallis site includes a combination of R&D and manufacturing facilities with work ranging from MEMS fabs to
large industrial printing presses.
Qualifications
\uf0b7 A recent (<1 year) PhD in chemistry, chemical engineering, or related field.
\uf0b7 Understanding of fundamental chemical mechanisms, key areas include
o Pigment and dye chemistry
o Polymers in solution
o Organic and inorganic nanoparticle suspensions
o Interfacial and surface chemistry
o Proficiency in appropriate analytical instruments and the data interpretation
\uf0b7 Wet chemistry experience
\uf0b7 Strong written and spoken communication skills.
\uf0b7 Ability to creatively solve problems in a fast\u2010paced product development environment
\uf0b7 Ability to work & effectively interact (remotely, as needed) with team members from other disciplines,
projects, organizations, cultures, & companies.
\uf0b7 Demonstrated leadership, teamwork\/interpersonal, communication and technical skills.
\uf0b7 Resourceful, creative and flexible
\uf0b7 Fluency in English
\uf0b7 Programming skills
\uf0b7 Familiarity with printing technology and color science
\uf0b7 Formulation experience is a plus
