I'm a organic materials chemist with experience in synthesis and characterization of small molecules and polymers. I have recently returned to Ontario after 18 years in the US. I'm looking for opportunities in and around the Greater Toronto Area, if possible. Would love to chat! #chemchat #chemjobs
