Who We Are Looking For: 

Phoenix Tailings is looking for an R&D Analytical Chemist to help drive the analytical backbone of our clean metals production technology. This role is for someone who can operate with autonomy, think critically through complex sample questions, and bring creativity to the analysis of materials that are not always well defined. You will run both investigative and quality control analyses, support method development, and help generate the data that enables Phoenix Tailings to move faster, solve harder technical problems, and scale the production of critical metals for the modern world.
