Daily Pump Trap: 2/24/11 edition

Good morning! Between February 22 and 23, there were 62 new positions posted on the ACS Careers database. Of these, 5 (8%) are academically connected.

Merrrrrrrrrrck!: Of these 62 positions, 45 (73%) of them are from Merck and Co. Care to guess how many are vaguely science-related? Probably about half. Sure, they might want you to be a Ph.D. analytical chemist, but they're just as likely to ask you to be a global exhibit manager or an audit manager.

CMC: Aveo Pharmaceuticals is looking for a Ph.D. chemist with 8+ years in the pharmaceutical industry to be their CMC drug manager; scale-up experience with small molecules and biomolecules is desired.

Tecan? Tecan!: Cubist is looking for a B.S./M.S. chemist to be their compound management specialist.

Secret: The Aerospace Corporation has posted two positions in polymer chemistry (one B.S., one Ph.D.) for the southern California area.

HomeSec: Oak Ridge Associated Universities are looking for postdocs for their Transportation Security Laboratory to work on explosive detection research. DSC and TGA experience desired. The salary is awwwfully nice at 70k.
