EVONIK – LEADING BEYOND CHEMISTRY

Evonik is one of the world’s leading specialty chemicals companies.

We may not manufacture tires, mattresses, medications, or animal feeds, but Evonik is part of all of those products –and many more. While we often contribute only small amounts of material, those contributions are precisely what make the difference. That’s because Evonik products make tires fuel-efficient, mattresses more elastic, medications more effective, and animal feeds healthier. That’s what specialty chemicals are all about. And when it comes to specialty chemicals, we’re among the best in the world.

Evonik is one of the world leaders in specialty chemicals. The company is active in more than 100 countries around the world and generated sales of €15 billion and an operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of €2.38 billion in 2021. Evonik goes far beyond chemistry to create innovative, profitable and sustainable solutions for customers. More than 33,000 employees work together for a common purpose: We want to improve life, today and tomorrow.

The company has created two new programs providing industrial experiences to recent doctoral graduates and current PhD students.  The industrial fellow program is a 15-month post-doctoral position.  The Ph.D. student internship is a 12-week summer program.  Details can be found on the Evonik careers website https://careers.evonik.com/en.  Traditional direct hire positions at all experience levels are also posted on the Evonik careers site.  Evonik is seeking chemists and chemical engineers to support the business growth in North America.
