The Dow Research Assignments Program (RAP) offers new chemists, materials scientists and engineers the unique opportunity to explore different areas of industrial research and development before selecting a specific position in one of our Research & Development (R&D) laboratories.
RAP is a rotational program in which new employees select and complete three or four projects with different Dow R&D groups during their first 10-14 months on the job. At the completion of the program, each employee will move into a specific job that matches his or her interests and meets the company’s needs.
There are approximately 5,000 people working in R&D at Dow all over the world. Hundreds of Dow scientists and managers started their careers on the Research Assignments Program, which has been running continuously since 1982. RAP offers talented graduates with a high degree of initiative the opportunity to rapidly gain knowledge of Dow’s technologies, products and processes, and build a broad network of professional contacts across the company.
