Chemist Jobs in Delaware

A Chemist in the chemistry industry is primarily engaged in the study and experimentation of substances at the atomic and molecular levels. They examine the various ways in which the chemical substances interact, combine, and change to create various compounds. They are responsible for developing new and improved chemical products, processes, and materials. Chemists also perform quality control tests, prepare technical reports, and conduct research to advance knowledge in the field. Essential skills for this role include analytical thinking, problem-solving, attention to detail, and strong mathematical capabilities. Proficiency in laboratory techniques and the use of scientific software is also required.

Before becoming a Chemist, one may have roles such as Laboratory Technician, where they would gain experience in handling laboratory equipment, conducting tests, and maintaining a safe work environment. Another possible role is a Research Assistant, providing support for scientific experiments and data collection. These roles provide valuable practical experience and a chance to apply theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting. Important certifications to have would include a degree in Chemistry or a related field, and depending on the specific role, a postgraduate degree may be beneficial. Some positions may also require certification from a recognized professional body like the American Chemical Society (ACS).
