Industrial positions, where are you?: Only one industrial position this past week with Lycera, for a senior-level medicinal chemist. Come on, come on, come on, pick back up!
Nice postdoctoral and temporary staff positions: P. Andrew Evans is looking for a postdoc! That's a nice position, especially for those US postdocs looking for overseas experience. BU's looking for a postdoc in their library center and Pitt has an "assistant or associate director" position in their "center for chemical methodologies and library development". Might be a nice place for people to get experience while riding out this storm...
Small college of the week: Saddleback College (student population 22,998, SA-LUTE!) in Mission Viejo, CA (basically the heart of Orange County) is looking for a tenure-track gen chem professor! If you like life in SoCal, this position might be for you!
I don't get CEN (not an ACS member), but how much experience are Lycera after? Seems even very junior chemistry positions over there in the US need PhDs and several years experience.

They're after someone with quite a bit of experience: "Lycera Corporation... is seeking a Ph.D. medicinal chemist with 7-12 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry to initiate and lead an exciting new discovery project."
ReplyDeleteWhile the job market is not great, I would argue that there are more positions for the BS/MS-level than there are at the PhD level. At the moment, I think it is exactly the folks with 7-12 years of experience at the PhD level that are getting hit the hardest.
P.S. Thanks for commenting, S!
ReplyDeleteWhat a change from when I was job hunting at the end of my postdoc last summer...there were more ads than I could deal with. Same with online. Now when I flip through C&EN there are maybe 10 ads TOTAL...
ReplyDeleteGlad I finished up and got my job when I did...
