Synthetic Chemist

About CURA

CURA is a Canadian climatetech company developing electrochemical technology to reduce CO₂ emissions from cement production. We split limestone into lime and pure CO₂ for storage or use, cutting emissions by up to 85% while lowering energy use and manufacturing cost. CURA is building a 30,000 TPA commercial facility online for 2028. Designed as a retrofit-ready solution, CURA’s technology integrates with existing feedstocks, infrastructure, and operations. The company’s founders are seasoned climatetech leaders, with experience in scaling technologies to reduce global CO₂ emissions. CURA works with partners globally to accelerate the decarbonization of the cement industry.

We are building a team of inventors, builders, and systems thinkers who thrive at the intersection of ambition and execution.

CURA operates a well-equipped synthetic chemistry lab with a strong safety culture. All team members complete OHS orientation and role-specific safety training.

The Role

We are seeking a chemist with experience in both synthesis and electrochemistry to drive the discovery of new additives for CURA's electrochemical acid and base production platform. This role sits at the heart of our chemistry program. A successful candidate will work closely with the CTO and electrochemistry team to expand CURA's molecular library and develop a deep understanding of structure-property relationships to guide the next generation of our electrolyte platform and improve the efficiency and durability of one of our core processes.

This is a rare opportunity for synthetic chemists with expertise in electrochemistry to contribute to decarbonizing cement production, one of the most heavily emitting sectors.
