Join to apply for the Graduate Program - Innovation Impact - R&D Data Scientist Chemistry (d/f/m) role at Henkel About the Innovation Impact Program Our 18-month Graduate Program starts on October 1st, 2025, at our Henkel Adhesive Technologies Innovation Center in Düsseldorf. You will be part of an exciting development journey, receiving a permanent contract from day one, relocation support, and hands-on experience across various innovative technologies. Upon completion, you'll have the opportunity to transition into global roles within Henkel’s innovation network. What You’ll Do Partner with product developers and application engineers in Düsseldorf, Germany, to understand technologies, data collection processes, and challenges driving digital transformation within R&D. Design and conduct data analysis projects to identify trends and patterns in formulation data sets, and build and deploy machine learning models to predict formulation performance, stability, and quality. Collaborate with R&D colleagues to translate data insights into new formulations, product development decisions, and application processes—optimizing R&D workflows. Develop and maintain data visualization dashboards to communicate insights effectively to technical and business stakeholders. Leverage your digital skills to promote data-based decision-making and digital tools across R&D. Support the digital transformation of R&D by implementing data-driven workflows for process development and knowledge management. What makes you a good fit You have recently completed or are about to complete a Master’s or Ph.D. in Chemistry, Engineering, Materials Science, Data Science, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field, with a focus that combines lab-based R&D and data-driven approaches. You have hands-on experience with data analysis and modeling in scientific or engineering contexts, with a strong understanding of statistical methods and machine learning algorithms (e.g., regression, classification). You are proficient in data tools such as Python or R, DoE software like Minitab or JMP, and data visualization platforms (e.g., Excel, Power BI, Tableau). Experience with IoT, FEA, or CFD is a plus. You are interested in working in a laboratory environment, motivated to learn about formulations, product development, and R&D workflows, and eager to apply your skills practically. You enjoy collaborating with non-digital colleagues and can explain digital tools and data concepts simply and practically. You are interested in growing your career within Henkel’s global Innovation network, with relocation as a possible path after the program. Proficiency in English is essential for working in an international environment. J-18808-Ljbffr
