This is the fourth 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 32 positions listed from February 1st through February 7, there are 12 new positions posted that are available to the working chemist. There are 3 connected to the pharmaceutical industry and 9 outside of pharma.
Interestingly, there were a heck of a lot more outside of pharma than inside. I suppose that's not that big of a surprise. Two or three positions were in the agrochemical business -- I hope some chemists can transition from pharma into crop protection. It's a good business, I hear.
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. Engineering positions are not counted, unless they are open to chemistry degree holders as well. Jobs outside the US are not counted.
