This is the second post of Chemjobber's Working Chemist ACS Web Index. It is a measurement of how many jobs posted on the ACS Careers website are aimed at the bench-level chemist. Definitions/caveats at the end of the post.
Going through the 42 positions listed from January 18 through January 24, there are 18 new positions posted that are available to the working chemist. There are 13 connected to the pharmaceutical industry and 5 outside of pharma.
I could be wrong, but I feel that this week has been particularly positive for the WCWI in that multiple positions have been posted with a variety of companies. Kudos to ArQule for posting a "multiple position" ad (ACS registration required) for junior-level Ph.D. medicinal chemists. Most of them are in pharma, granted, but there are some nice university positions (staff/technician) level as well.
Definitions/caveats: This index is primarily for chemists (at all educational levels) who have been working for less than 10 years and are still 'at the bench.' It counts only jobs that are lab-oriented and primarily non-managerial; obvious senior-level titles such as "Group Leader", "Research Fellow" or "Director" will not be counted. Academic jobs (professor positions at any level, any Ph.D.-level lecturer position, postdocs) are also not counted. Academic technician or staff positions are counted on a case-by-case basis.
