Mission

PFAS, short for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are widely incorporated into numerous consumer and industrial products for their distinctive properties that repel stains, water, and oil. Nevertheless, their omnipresence and persistence have incited increasing concern regarding public and environmental health. Owing to their resilience against natural degradation, PFAS persist as stubborn pollutants across soil, groundwater, surface bodies of water, and within living organisms, consequently threatening human health.  In light of this issue, there is a critical push to innovate and implement efficient methods for the removal or diminishment of PFAS in the environment. In line with these efforts, IBA is dedicated to creating an environmental solution to address PFAS contamination through the application of high-energy electron beam technology.
We are seeking a technologist who will assist our internal R&D team and contribute to a collaborative project that involves both industrial partners and universities.
