Nope: 3 ads this week. If there's a spring thaw coming (and I actually suspect there might be), it's not showing up in the pages of C&E News. 

Small college of the week: Missouri Southern State University (Joplin, MO, student population: 4,861 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for a tenure track professor of organic chemistry. Other subjects to be taught include gen. chem., organic, biochemistry and solid state structural engineering (okay, kidding about that last.) Looks like they'll accept degreed candidates or ABDs; best of luck, folks!
