Entry-Level – Researcher, Aftertreatment Catalysis

Job Description

The Researcher will contribute to aftertreatment catalysis research, combining strong scientific fundamentals with practical understanding of automotive emissions systems. This individual will design and execute laboratory studies, interpret catalyst characterization data, and help translate research findings into product-relevant recommendations for catalyst formulation, structure, and system integration. The role also includes collaboration with engineering, modeling, and external research teams, with opportunities to grow technical depth through mentorship.

At General Motors, we are seeking an early-career Researcher to advance aftertreatment catalysis technologies that improve emissions performance, durability, and cost competitiveness for automotive applications. This role is well suited for a researcher or recent PhD graduate who is excited to combine fundamental catalytic science, hands-on experimentation, data analytics, and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) to develop robust catalyst designs.
