WR Grace - Job Posting

For those not familiar with Grace,  WR Grace is a private global catalyst company specializing in a variety of industrial catalysts including polyolefin (CONSISTA ®, SHAC®, LYNX®, ActivCat® and POLYTRAK®), hydrogenation (RANEY®), refining catalysts as well as a materials technology business (functionalized silica and fine chemicals).   Through a series of recent acquisitions, WR Grace is one of the world’s largest polyolefin catalyst suppliers as well as the licenser for the UNIPOL® PP process technology. We are looking to fill several roles within the catalyst design group as well as other roles within the larger specialty catalyst business.  These individuals would primarily support new catalyst launches from the lab scale to full scale production.  The summer internship in my group would focus on multi-step organic synthesis of catalyst components and be based in the greater Baltimore/DC, however, there are similar intern positions throughout the R&D organization and engineering groups that funneled through the one internship posting below.   If any of your former colleagues would be interested in contributing to the next generation polyolefin catalyst development and working in the greater Baltimore/DC area (ie Columbia MD), please invite them to apply.
