That is our purpose. As innovators, that has been our mission for 100 years. We are facing the world’s greatest balancing act- how to simultaneously reduce emissions and meet the world’s growing energy demands. We’re working on that answer. Every day, a step closer.\nOur collective future depends on decarbonizing the fossil fuel industry, while innovating a new energy landscape. It’s what drives us. Ensuring progress for people and the planet, on the journey to net zero and beyond. For a balanced planet.\nOur purpose: Together, we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all. You can find out more about us on https://www.slb.com/who-we-are\nLocation: \nCambridge, UK\nSLB Cambridge Research (SCR) is part of SLB’s global network of research and engineering centres. SCR is a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment with state-of-the-art research and computing facilities. We work on applied research projects in the physical sciences to meet the current and future challenges of the industry.\nDescription & Scope:\nWe have one internship vacancy within the ‘Electro-Chemical Technologies’ group, in the area of membrane fabrication. This research project will be focused on development of Zirfon membranes, which are composed of a porous polysulfone matrix filled with zirconia particles. These membranes are widely used as separators in alkaline water electrolysis due to their excellent chemical stability and low electrical resistance.\nPrecise control of membrane pore size and surface charge can effectively suppress the crossover of dissolved species and gas bubbles between the anode and cathode compartments, thereby improving electrolysers efficiency and product purity. Structural and electrochemical characterization techniques will be employed to investigate the morphology, transport properties, and electrochemical performance of Zirfon membranes.\nThe work will primarily be experimental and lab-based, carrying out experiments as well as performing characterization, analysis and interpretation of the experimental data. You will work within a team of scientists as an integrated part of the team working on an on-going research projects. The position would be suitable for those interested in applications of chemistry and material science in electrochemical technologies.\nResponsibilities:\nPlanning and carrying out experimental work, ensuring that laboratories activities are in keeping within Health & Safety standards and guidelines\n\nAnalyzing and interpreting experimental datasets\n\nParticipating in regular meetings to discuss project progress\n\nWriting technical reports and presenting to peers\n\nAssisting with the laboratory housekeeping\n\nQualifications :\nStudying Bachelors in Materials Chemistry, Electro-chemistry or a related discipline\n\nGood communication and writing skills\n\nGood fundamental laboratory skills\n\nBasic data analysis\n\nSLB is an equal employment opportunity employer. Qualified applicants are considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, or other characteristics protected by law.\nThe recruiting process and the position can be adapted to fit most disabilities, please do not hesitate to mention this when applying.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3667,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Artificial Intelligence","Natural Resources","Professional Services","Petroleum & Mining Engineering"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-29T12:40:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":55,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.613,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":19,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-01T06:10:25Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/slb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/slb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T13:58:48Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21507,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":811720},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=811720"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fslb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fslb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fslb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/slb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fslb-chemical-engineer-intern-12-months"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3456816}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"slb.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3456816},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
