Good morning! Between September 13 and September 14, 90 new positions have been posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 8 (9%) are academically connected.
Andover, MA: Cambridge Isotope Laboratories has posted 2 positions: a Q.A. position that requires a B.S. chemist and a staff scientist position. They want a Ph.D. organic chemist to well, uh, check this out:
M-E-R-C-K: Our frenemies from Rahway have posted 76 positions (86%). There are some scientific positions in there, sure. I mean, you would go to the American Chemical Society to hire a bioanalytical chemist -- why not? But would you go to ACS to hire a maintenance supervisor or a ??????? ???? (pharmacy manager) for Russia? Well, I don't know...
You could hold the cattle call in a closet: Kimberly-Clark is on the hunt for a very special candidate (maybe not that special). They desire a (at minimum) M.S. chemist with experience in molecular modeling AND "[m]ust have a thorough understanding of surface adhesion, polymeric materials, fibers and emulsions with an ability to characterize the force field parameters for molecular systems." Huh.
You could try poutine: Boehringer-Ingelheim desires a Ph.D. NMR spectroscopist for a small molecule characterization position. It's in Laval, Quebec and an ability to speak French is helpful. Interesting, very interesting.
Sounds interesting, important: AAAS is accepting applicants for its science and technology policy fellowship program. Pays all right, that's for sure.

The successful candidate will prepare cost estimates for special synthetic projects (targeting amino acids, organic building blocks and persistent pollutants in the environment) based primarily on data from in-house databases; prepare documents in support of registration under ISO-13485, ISO-17025, CE Mark and GMP and assist in maintaining these programs within the Research Products Department; and prepare cost estimates and support data for the environmental analytical standards product line.Huh -- that's a little odd. It's mostly a cost estimate position.

I will leave my hilarious comment in "Merck Russian": ??? ??????? ?????? ?????? ???! ????? ?????*
ReplyDelete????????????????! ????????????????????! XDDDD??
ReplyDeletePoutine.....I only know what that is b/c I saw the No Reservations Anthony Bourdine a few days ago when he samples many poutine dishes, funny
ReplyDeleteThere have actually been some really good postings of late from BASF and the Shepherd Chemical Company, two firms that you can trust not to throw you to the curb. I heard that Germany in particular seems to be running short on PhD chemists to work at company jobs. Hopefully they didn't just fire all the old and experienced people during the previous crisis and now want cheaper young ones with new contracts instead.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I'm stuck in my current place for a while longer, so not applying to BASF for now.
