About Zynthera Zynthera is a research-driven company with over 10 years of experience conducting advanced projects in the fields of chemistry and environmental science. Our work spans a broad spectrum of experimental and applied research aimed at creating sustainable, science-based solutions for global challenges. We are now launching four cutting-edge interdisciplinary chemical research projects in New York and Los Angeles, and we are looking to hire 8 Chemical Engineers (2 per project) to join our growing team. These projects aim to revolutionize the way we think about chemistry, energy, and sustainability.
Our Featured Projects 1. Lightning and the Chemical Origin of Life Project Code: LIFE1 Zynthera is investigating the possible chemical origins of life by simulating early Earth lightning conditions in the lab. This project recreates prebiotic atmospheric environments to explore the synthesis of biologically relevant molecules using plasma and radical chemistry. Open Positions: 2 Location: Los Angeles
2. Zeolite-Confined Metal Catalysts for Light Alkane Conversion Project Code: CAT42 This project focuses on developing novel catalysts that transform light alkanes like methane and propane into valuable chemicals under mild conditions. It combines zeolite-encapsulated metals with photo and non-thermal plasma activation methods for sustainable chemistry. Open Positions: 2 Location: New York
3. Electrified Chemical Synthesis for a Zero-Carbon Future Project Code: ELEC5 Zynthera is engineering electrified reaction systems inspired by lightning and natures own chemical pathways. We aim to reduce reliance on high-emission methods like Haber-Bosch by designing greener systems to produce fertilizers, fuels, and fine chemicals. Open Positions: 2 Location: Los Angeles
4. Contamination Mitigation Tools for Aerospace Cleanrooms Project Code: CLEAN This project involves the development of real-time analytical tools to detect and mitigate molecular contamination in aerospace cleanrooms. We are supporting aerospace sustainability by minimizing chemical pollution risks during spacecraft manufacturing and launch. Open Positions: 2 Location: New York
Who Should Apply? We are seeking applicants from around the world with an academic or professional background in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or related disciplines. Both entry-level and experienced candidates are encouraged to apply. Annual Salary: $75,000 $100,000 USD Work Location: New York or Los Angeles (depending on project) Visa Sponsorship: Zynthera supports U.S. work visa sponsorship for selected candidates Work Experience: 0+ years (recent graduates welcome)
