Well: Adesis is looking for synthetic organic chemists at all levels. I've seen this ad before (it appears to be seasonal/cyclical), but it's nice that someone's still hiring.

Academic-wise: Still chugging along, including some really questionable ones...
Got cash to burn? C&E News will take it: Nanyang Technical University has a half-pager for its College of Engineering. So it's advertising for tenure-track positions in bioinformatics, pharmaceutical and biomolecular engineering, synthetic biology, biophysiology, remote healthcare, medical devices, electrical power and energy, hybrid power systems, materials and devices for energy harvesting and storage, environmental chemistry, green building systems and materials, risk analysis and management, protective and resilient systems, urban infrastructure, artificial or computational intelligence, digital media processing, high performance computing, machine learning and intelligent agents, systems engineering applied to transportation and healthcare, biomimicry and information security.
See anything applicable to C&EN? Look carefully -- it's in there.
A moment to educate me: What's the point of a lecturer position? Is it a feeder into the tenure-track system? UC Berkeley is looking for a lecturer for organic chemistry. It looks tempting, but I'd love to know what the fate of lecturers are...
Small college of the week: Reed College (Portland, OR, student population: 1,442, SA-LUTE!) is looking for a visiting assistant professor in biochemistry or analytical chemistry. Ooooh, there's a 400 MHz NMR! Actually, Reed is a lovely campus and the students are quite bright (like top in the nation bright), so far as I understand. Watch out for the non-Reedie poseurs at Renn Faire.
>What's the point of a lecturer position? Is it a feeder into the tenure-track system?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's a second-tier system within the UC system which frees up the TT people to do research.
>I'd love to know what the fate of lecturers are..
Death By Teaching. Banishing From Scientific Research.
its like with washing dishes in the restaurant: 1. No-one else in the kitchen wants your job so you go mostly unnoticed and get no credit when you do it well. 2. It is slightly better paid than janitorial and they let you keep doing it into your ripe age as long as there are no complaints.
ReplyDeleteAs they say, there is a man for every job.
Yes, I saw that Adesis advert too, but can't seem to find any information about the position on their own website.
ReplyDeleteObviously that posting is inappropiate for the c@en audience.
ReplyDeleteWhich post, Mitch? All seem reasonably relevant to me.
