Pure Capture Innovations is hiring a Chemist to join our Oxford lab and help build the next generation of sustainable water treatment materials. This is a fixed-term role at the start with the potential to become permanent, offering the chance to work on a high-impact deep-tech challenge with real commercial potential. Pure Capture Innovations is developing a new class of sustainable and high-performance advanced adsorbents to capture and remove persistent micropollutants from drinking water, with a focus on short-chain PFAS. We are looking for a hands-on chemist who enjoys experimental work, fast iteration, and solving difficult technical problems. You will join a lean, ambitious team where your work will directly shape the technology, the data, and the route to commercial deployment.
Job Responsibility:
Synthesising and refining advanced carbon-based composite materials
Working with porous materials, molecular filters, and functional adsorbent formulations
Supporting experimental planning, laboratory testing, and material optimisation
Characterising materials and interpreting results to guide the next round of development
Maintaining and presenting accurate laboratory records and high-quality data
Helping to ensure the lab remains safe, organised, and productive
Contributing to technical reports and project documentation
Requirements:
Degree or higher qualification in chemistry, materials science, chemical engineering, or a related discipline
Practical laboratory experience in synthesis, formulation, or materials development
Strong experimental technique and excellent attention to detail
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving environment
Good communication skills and a proactive, problem-solving mindset
Nice to have:
Knowledge of metal-organic frameworks and synthesis
Experience with composite materials, porous materials, or advanced adsorbents
Familiarity with carbon materials, biochar, or water treatment media
Experience with materials characterisation or performance testing
Interest in sustainable chemistry, clean water, or environmental remediation
A willingness to learn quickly and help turn ideas into real materials
