Responsibilities

- Review, curate, validate, and consolidate Chemistry R&D; master data from multiple sources.
- Perform detailed data profiling and quality assessment to identify inconsistencies, duplicates, missing information, anomalies, and data-integrity risks.
- Harmonize chemical and scientific data according to established data-governance, quality, and standardization rules .
- Identify and flag cases that fall outside existing rules or require expert scientific judgement .
- Assess equivalence and consistency of scientific data, including chemical names, descriptions, properties, units, and other metadata .
- Apply scientific unit conversions, normalization,



and equivalence assessment to support master-data harmonization.
- Use text clustering, pattern analysis, and other data-analysis techniques to identify relationships, duplicates, and potential data inconsistencies.
- Work independently through data-review and consolidation activities, documenting decisions, assumptions, and exceptions clearly.
- Support the definition and refinement of data-quality and harmonization rules based on findings from the curation process.
- Use scripting and data-analysis tools, where appropriate, to automate repetitive curation and analysis tasks.
- Leverage LLMs and modern agentic/AI platforms to accelerate data review, classification, pattern identification, and harmonization activities.
- Validate AI-assisted outputs and ensure that final decisions meet scientific accuracy and data-governance requirements .
- Collaborate with Chemistry R&D;, data, IT, and digitalization teams to resolve complex data issues and improve overall data quality.
- Contribute to the development of repeatable processes and best practices for scientific master-data management .

Qualifications

- MSc or PhD in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Materials Science , or a related scientific discipline.
- Practical experience in laboratory environments, Chemistry R&D;,



or scientific data management is strongly preferred.
- Experience in data curation, data governance, master-data management, data harmonization, or data-quality management .
- Strong understanding of scientific and chemical data and the ability to interpret chemical terminology, properties, and metadata.
- Proficiency in data profiling, pattern analysis, and text clustering .
- Familiarity with scientific unit conversions, normalization, and equivalence assessment .
- Comfortable working with semi-structured, heterogeneous, and large datasets .
- Basic scripting/programming skills, preferably Python , for data analysis and automation.
- Familiarity with ELN, LIMS, R&D; data-management platforms , or similar scientific information systems is a distinct advantage.
- Comfortable using LLMs, AI-assisted tools, and agentic platforms as part of modern data-curation and analysis workflows.
- Ability to critically assess and validate AI-generated outputs rather than relying on them without verification.
- Excellent attention to detail , with a strong focus on data accuracy and consistency.
- Strong structured and analytical thinking , problem-solving skills, and independent judgement.
- Ability to work independently and make evidence-based decisions when data falls outside predefined rules.
- Robust written communication skills, particularly the ability to clearly document findings, decisions, exceptions, and recommendations .
- Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary teams across scientific, data, IT, and digital R&D; functions .
