About Us
At ANR Technologies, we value deep scientific expertise and the ability to translate research into real-world solutions. Our leadership team, including the CEO, comes from strong academic research backgrounds, but we chose to step beyond traditional academia to apply science in more dynamic and impactful ways.
We are now looking for like-minded talent — PhD-trained scientists who want to apply their knowledge outside the university lab. This role is for someone excited to bridge science with industry: understanding customer needs, solving problems, and helping shape new products that advance research.
The Role
We are seeking an Application Scientist to join our growing team. Unlike a traditional postdoc, this is not a purely academic or lab-bound role. Instead, you will work at the intersection of science, customers, and product development.
You will collaborate closely with our Product, Sales, Marketing, and R&D teams to:
- Engage with researchers to understand their scientific challenges and technical pain points across electrochemistry, thermal, photo- and other catalysis fields, as well as materials science applications.
- Provide expert consultation and recommend suitable products or customised solutions.
- Design and propose bespoke research tools such as flow cells, in-situ cells, and electrochemical or catalytic testing systems.
- Support the development of ANR’s product line by translating customer needs into innovative solutions across diverse catalysis and materials science areas.
- Contribute technical expertise to marketing materials, white papers, and product launches.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate customer enquiries into practical, science-based solutions across electrochemistry, catalysis (electro-, photo-, thermal), and materials research.
- Provide technical expertise to Sales & Marketing team through pre-sales consultation, proposal support, presentations, customer training, and post-sales engagement.
- Propose and design customised research solutions, including cells, systems, and fabrication setups for electrochemical and catalytic studies.
- Collaborate with manufacturers, product managers, 3D modelling specialists, graphic designers, and the marketing team to assess technical feasibility, convert concepts into practical drawings, and transform them into market-ready products and materials.
- Develop technical documentation, training resources, and application notes for internal teams, customers, and distributors.
- Provide feedback to the product team on product improvements, unmet customer needs, and market opportunities.
- Stay current with research trends in catalysis and materials science to identify opportunities for new product development and innovation.
Who You Are
- PhD in electrochemistry, catalysis, chemical engineering, materials science, or related field.
- Strong foundation in electrochemical and catalytic fundamentals, with practical experience in laboratory or applied research methods.
- Hands-on expertise with experimental setups, testing systems, or in-situ techniques (advantageous).
- Curious and adaptable — passionate about science, yet eager to apply it beyond academia in a customer-focused and product-driven environment.
- Clear communicator who is able to translate complex technical details into accessible explanations for diverse audiences.
- Creative problem-solver with the ability to design tailored, practical solutions.
- Collaborative and approachable, comfortable working across Sales, Marketing, Product, and R&D teams.
- Proficient in AutoCAD or equivalent CAD tools, with the ability to use 3D design and visualisation software to support customised solutions.
Why Join Us?
- Work with a leadership team who understands your journey — we’ve been researchers too.
- Apply your research skills in a dynamic, customer-driven, and problem-solving environment.
- Be part of developing ANR’s own products that support cutting-edge research worldwide.
- Grow your career in industry while staying close to science and innovation.
- Contribute to real-world impact without the pressures of academic publishing.
