Johns Creek, Georgia, United States Imerys Full time
Position Overview

Project Focus:

The intern will be an integral part of the global R&D division at Imerys Performance Minerals, contributing to the advancement of our understanding of mineral-based solid/liquid separation techniques. The role involves working with a variety of clear fluids, including edible oils and beverages, which are typically filtered using our mineral products. The intern will engage with a dedicated project team, focusing on specific customer needs or manufacturing processes.

Project Goals and Responsibilities:

Despite the long-standing use of minerals in filtration, our clients continually present new challenges that require innovative solutions. One of the key projects involves the development of a novel absorbent filtration system designed to improve the purification of renewable diesel feedstocks. Interns will spend approximately 70% of their time actively engaged in laboratory work, executing experimental designs to modify the physical and chemical characteristics of filter aids and assessing their performance in various tests. The remaining 30% will be dedicated to experimental planning and data interpretation.

The expected outcome is a detailed research report accompanied by a presentation, demonstrating a clear structure-property relationship between prototype materials and customer specifications.

Learning Objectives:

Interns will cultivate skills in independent observation and critical thinking, efficient experimental design, and the ability to draw insights from statistical data analysis. This internship offers a unique opportunity to apply academic knowledge in a practical setting, including:

  • The autonomy to implement improvements within a collaborative and informal work culture
  • Comprehensive experience through exposure to diverse projects and organizational structures
  • The chance to communicate and collaborate across various teams
  • Valuable experiences and increasing responsibilities within a dynamic business environment.

Ideal candidates for this internship will possess:

  • A recent degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, or Chemical Engineering, or be an undergraduate entering their final year in one of these programs
  • Strong verbal and written communication abilities
  • A passion for problem-solving in a team-oriented setting
