Job description

The Senior Scientist is responsible for leading and conducting scientific research including generating ideas, designing experiments, collecting, and interpreting data, and providing strategic insights to ensure that NGC maintains leadership in the building products market. This role carries a focus on joint compounds, plaster, and related wet-applied and finishing systems.

We welcome candidates whose depth comes from adjacent paste- and slurry-based formulation fields — such as cement-based mortars and finishing systems, paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, concrete admixtures, or other calcium sulfate / gypsum products — and who are eager to channel that expertise into joint compound and plaster.
