Well, there ain't much out there. When 2 out of the 4 ads in industry are for spots in China and a third is for positions in both New Jersey and China, life's a little tough for a chemist. Still not much doin' for government positions and a surprising fall in the number of academic positions as well. Small college of the week is International Christian University (Mitaka, Japan, student population 3141, SA-LUTE!), which is looking for a materials science prof.
Conversations with Chemjobber friends have indicated that the job market is pretty tough right now (duh!). Big Pharma appears to have stopped hiring* and academic hiring is either frozen or entirely withdrawn. Let's hope that things thaw soon.
*So why is Cephalon hiring two senior process chemists right now? Are they going to embark on a campaign pretty soon or is this a fishing expedition?
