Your Role at Cabot

Battery Materials Group at Cabot develops advanced cathode, anode and conductive additives for lithium-ion batteries that enable a more sustainable future. This CO-OP position provides an opportunity for a qualified undergraduate student to gain industrial experience in a high growth and high impact area. This role is expected to provide experimental support and product characterization analysis for key projects within the Battery Materials Group. Candidate will be responsible for working closely with battery scientists to develop conductive carbon additive dispersions and test their quality through various analytical methods as well as battery performance testing. Due to the technical nature of the work involved, this position requires a relatively strong technical background and hands-on lab experience, preferably a chemical engineering, materials engineering, or chemistry student with great laboratory skills.

 

Co-op cycle runs June-December.

How You Will Make an Impact

  • Assists with the planning and execution of R&D trials to produce high quality conductive carbon additive and /or metal oxide nanoparticle dispersions in aqueous or solvent systems.
  • Assists in the characterization of the properties of the particle dispersions.
  • Assists in battery electrode testing by producing electrode and perform various measurements.
  • Analysis of experimental design results and report results in an organized format.
  • Document results in a presentation or research report at the end of the internship.

What You Will Bring to Cabot

  • Must be enrolled in undergraduate program.
  • University level laboratory experience
  • Experience writing formal laboratory reports.
  • Have strong willingness to learn new things.
  • Strong focus on safety, basic chemical safety training experience preferred
  • Materials engineering, chemistry, or chemical engineering coursework
  • Computer skills (MS-Excel, Powerpoint).
  • Due to the nature of the sponsoring project, US citizenship required.

About Cabot


Cabot Corporation (NYSE: CBT) is a leading global specialty chemicals and performance materials company headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Our businesses deliver a broad range of products and solutions to customers in every corner of the globe, serving the transportation, infrastructure, environment and consumer industry sectors. We bring the power of innovative chemistry to solve customers' challenges today while preparing them to meet tomorrow’s needs. Our commitment to innovation is driven by a passion to advance our customers' businesses through our deep understanding of their applications and the global trends that impact their operations.

Innovation that drives sustainability

Many of the world’s greatest sustainability challenges are fundamentally chemistry problems. We can convert the mobility sector from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles, but this requires batteries with greater range and lower cost. This is fundamentally a chemistry challenge. We can have a zero-energy building, but this requires high performance insulation, efficient solar panels, and energy storage solutions. Each of these are fundamentally chemistry challenges.

At Cabot, we bring the power of innovative chemistry and a spirit of partnership with our customers to advance solutions that will enable a sustainable future. Our strength in research and development is a major reason why we have been an industry leader for more than 135 years in products such as reinforcing and specialty carbons, battery materials, aerogel, fumed metal oxides, inkjet colorants, masterbatches and conductive compounds.

Our employees around the world are united by our shared purpose: Creating materials that improve daily life and enable a more sustainable future. Through our corporate strategy, “Creating for Tomorrow,” we are focused on our core strengths to lead in performance and sustainability – today and into the future.
