Daily Pump Trap: 1/27/11 edition

Good morning! Between January 25 and January 26, there are 11 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 5 (45%) are academically connected.

Food: Silgan White Cap (Downers Grove, IL) desires a M.S. polymer chemist to "[d]evelop new raw materials for food closures - gaskets, resins, coatings. Work with manufacturing facilities to run manufacturing trials and solve closure manufacturing issues related to raw materials." Takes all kinds...

Multi-level chemistry?: Herbalife International (Torrance, CA) is looking for a B.S./M.S. analytical chemist with experience with method development and compliance with cGMP requirements.

Plastics: Henkel (Rocky Hill, CT) is looking for a Ph.D. chemical engineer for a scale-up position from lab to pilot plant. It's titled as a "chemist" position, but they're also saying things about "unit operations" -- that's ChemE talk.

Well, that's interesting: The Louisiana School for Math, Science, and the Arts is a residential high school in Natchitoches, Louisiana; they're looking for a M.S./Ph.D. chemist, biochemist or engineer to teach and direct high school research. Looks like industrial experience might be a plus -- huh.

So's this: Sapling Learning is an online teaching company; they're looking for a M.S./Ph.D. chemist for a chemistry/physics specialist. As much as I think the recent push for online learning and non-traditional universities are being run by charlatans (I'm looking at you, Kaplan University), this is undoubtedly real and a wave of the future.

    It is a very real wave of the future. Well respected schools are getting on board. For example Texas A&M and Purdue offer virtual/global engineering degrees. Indiana Univeristy offers virtual MBAs. More and more industry work is done with virtual connections or conference calls around the globe. Why not prepare by learning these skills at school?
