analytical chemist
Analytical chemists research and describe the chemical composition of substances. Moreover, they draw conclusions related to the behaviour of such substances in different conditions. Analytical chemists play an important role in looking at the relationship between chemistry and the environment, food, fuel, and medicine. They use a range of techniques such as electro-chromatography, gas and high performance liquid chromatography and spectroscopy.
Also called: analytical chemistry scholar, chemistry researcher, analytical chemistry research analyst, analytical chemistry researcher, analytical chemistry analyst, chemistry analyst, chemistry science researcher, chemistry scholar
