Denver ACS: 110 positions for the Career Fair, 1 position for the Virtual Career Fair.
Boston, MA: Aspen Aerogel is looking to fill 5 positions, including a patent agent position for a B.S./M.S. chemist.
Indianapolis, IN: DowAgrosciences is looking for a Ph.D. organic chemist for pesticide/herbicide research and to drive the organic movement crazy; "[e]xperience in synthetic methodologies, synthesis problem-solving, and total synthesis is highly desired." That last one is unusual these days.
Stamford, CT: Cytec Industries desires a Ph.D. chemist to fill a postdoctoral fellowship. "[S]trong research and coursework emphasis in the synthesis and structural characterization of ligands and metal extraction testing" wanted.
Zeroes!: Promega Biosciences is looking for Ph.D. organic chemists with 0-3 years of experience. "Preference will be given to candidates with knowledge of fluorescence and bioconjugation technologies and/or proteomics."
Uh, NO: A medical device company wishes to hire a B.S. chemist with 4+ years experience in synthetic chemistry. A bit of chutzpah with the claim of a "fantastic salary of $60-65K"; are you kidding me? It's Irvine and you're wanting to get patted on the back for 60K for an experienced synthetic chemist?
Milwaukee, WI: Cambridge Major is looking to hire experienced analytical and analytical R&D chemists. They have B.S./M.S. positions open, as well as a M.S./Ph.D. position. Too bad that the ACS Careers ad is non-functional. (Check out the silent CML blog -- funny, that one.)
Eh?: An ad gone wrong here. Wha' happened?
Wall, NJ: Bel-Ray Company is looking for a senior "Reserarch and Developent Chemist" [sic]. Experience with a lubricant company and lubricant product development desired. (I'm leaving all the bad jokes aside -- mature, no?)
Las Vegas, NV: The Clark County Water Reclamation District desires an B.S. chemist for wastewater testing. Vegas, baby!
China Corner: 3M and DuPont hiring in Shanghai.
I'm getting paid less than 60K, and I'm a MS synthetic chemist with 5 years industrial experience.
ReplyDeleteYes, aside from the location, $65k for a BS is actually pretty good!?
ReplyDeleteI agree. A few years back, an MS chemist could climb past $70K. Now, $60K is becoming a top rate. My friends in engineering (mechanical) also seem to be complaining about strange salaries in expensive areas....

ReplyDeleteI know more than one PhD who has not made it past 60. You should see their faces when they read salary survey.
I guess I have a problem with them describing it as a "fantastic" salary. Okay? Sure. Above average? Why not. Fantastic? In Irvine? Probably not. (just a guess.)
