Where the Chemistry Happens…

BASF’s Environmental Catalysis Research department is responsible for the design and development of catalysts and adsorbents for the treatment and purification of emission gases from mobile (e.g., cars, motorcycles.) and stationary (power plants) sources. This position, based in Iselin, NJ, resides in a group within Environmental Catalysts Research that specializes in catalyst experimentation and computer modeling. S/he will provide environmental catalysis modeling support, both locally and globally when needed.

The successful candidate will be responsible for kinetic experimentation and development of transport-kinetic models for environmental catalyst systems. The researcher will utilize these models and modeling software to support R&D projects and customer programs. The person in this role must also effectively collaborate with other R&D personnel, business colleagues, and OEM customers to develop innovative solutions to emissions control challenges. This position is also responsible for understanding developments in emissions control systems technology, determining internal partner and external customer modeling needs, and developing new software technology and modeling approaches..
