Good evening/morning! Between April 19 and April 20, there have been 21 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 5 (24%) are academically connected and 3 (14%) are from our friends at Kelly Scientific Resources.
But what does that mean?: Lilly is looking for a cheminformatics scientist with at least two years experience; among the minimum requirements, "A proven track record in developing novel computational chemistry / cheminformatics methods with a demonstrated impact on drug discovery research." Wow. I think I know what that means, but I'm not positive. I think it's something more than lots of neat looking Spotfire plots, but I could be wrong.
QC Heaven (or is it Hell?): Novan, Inc. is looking for a B.S. chemist to be an analyst. Duties include being "responsible for conducting performance testing on raw materials, drug substance intermediates, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), and finished dosage forms (FDF)." Sounds like a party.
More for the analysts: Exova's Gary, Indiana lab is looking for a B.S. chemist with some experience with "gas analyzers, a remelting machine and an ARL 3460 spectrometer". You know, if I were a chemist in Gary, Indiana... (amusingly, local candidates are preferred.)
Moooo, Merck: 6 (29%) positions from our friends at Rahway, including a position to become the Senior Territory Representative for Beef Cattle Products in Utah. You know, I'm crazy enough that I think I would enjoy this position. That being said, you don't need a degree in chemistry to do this job -- so why is it being advertised on ACS Careers? (h/t to devoted commenter See Arr Oh.)

An expert on "steerates," perhaps?
