Johnson & Johnson is recruiting for a Post-Doctoral Fellow in Jacksonville, FL.

This is a two-year duration based role.

Johnson & Johnson Vision (JJV) MedTech, a member of Johnson & Johnson's Family of Companies, is a unified, global organization that collaborates, innovates, and works seamlessly together to care for patients at every stage in their eye health journey. Research, innovation, and new-product development are the focus of our organization for disposable contact lenses and intraocular lenses. JJV has a history of innovation firsts and are uniquely positioned to reimagine the future of eye health and deliver an all-encompassing portfolio of solutions to transform our patients’ lives.

Position Summary:

We are seeking a Post-Doctoral Fellow to join our dynamic R&D team. The candidate will collaborate within a multidisciplinary group to investigate the impact of various chemical compounds on polymerization kinetics and performance of Class II and Class III medical devices. Project work will include synthesis of monomers and polymers, raw material analysis, formulations, device fabrication and analytical characterization of the test articles. Expertise in polymerization kinetics, polymer mechanics, synthetic organic chemistry, and photochemistry are required. Scale up from bench top/glove box feasibility to pilot line runs with acceptable repeatability and reproducibility targets is anticipated.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop novel bulk and surface polymerization chemistries for ophthalmic medical device applications, contributing to intellectual property and advancing new patient benefits.


• Conduct independent and collaborative research of a highly complex nature where analysis of situations or data requires an evaluation of intangible variable factors.


• Utilize broad based scientific literature to develop evidence-based strategies capable of achieving desired molecular structure and performance.


• Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team composed of organic chemists, analytical chemists, polymer scientists, biochemists, material scientists, chemical engineers, and medical professionals.


• Interact with intellectual property legal, clinical, quality and regulatory functions to support project objectives.
