• Long-term interest in specializing in electrochemistry and materials corrosion technology
• Competence in the fundamental chemical principles to understand corrosion and degradation mechanisms.
• Ability to develop industry leading expertise in Corrosion Chemistry and a desire to be an effective consultant.
• Ability to work in and around laboratories, operating facilities, and manufacturer and testing sites with occasional climbing and equipment access is required
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally, depending on assigned projects, up to 10% of the time (trips are typically less than a week in duration, but may extend to a few weeks if international).
Preferred Qualifications:
• PhD in Chemistry, Electrochemistry, Electrochemical Science and Engineering, or Chemical Engineering is desirable
• Demonstrated ability to use ionic speciation modeling and software is desirable.
• Understanding and the ability to use computational fluid dynamic techniques is desirable.
• Experience in metallurgy/alloy chemistry is desirable.
• Experience in electrochemical measurement techniques including ER Probes, LPR, ECN, CMAS is desirable.
Relocation Options:
Relocation may be considered within Chevron parameters.
