As a student within the Component Science department, previously known as Chemical Synthesis, you will use your creativity and problem-solving skills to discover new and exciting chemistry through organic synthesis and process development. You will be regularly interacting with commercial, analytical and performance testing departments across the globe to interpret analytical results and create formal experimental write ups.

Within the Applied and Strategic Research department, previously known as Applied Sciences, you will use your creativity and problem-solving skills to develop and test novel chemistries and new technologies. You will be part of a diverse and innovative team of skilled professionals who you will work with on a daily basis, as well as other students. Throughout the year you will be working on a range of innovative projects with different focus areas under the guidance of an experienced research scientist and you will evaluate the performance of the products which you have helped to develop.

You will be responsible for the accurate performance of physical and analytical tests on Lubrizol products and will report test findings to internal customers.
