Good morning! Between September 15 and September 19, there have been 92 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 31 (34%) are academically connected.
MERRRRRCCCCCCKKKK: So you guys aren't going away, are you? Typical dump of positions all around the world, include a real estate portfolio manager position in Ireland. As usual, I am not kidding.
(P.S. There's always an ad for some kind of veterinary position in Elkhorn, Nebraska. What's there? (other than cattle, I'm assuming.) Anyone know anything specific?)
Not that rare: Avalon Rare Earths is a new company devoted to finding rare earth minerals in Canada; among other positions, they're looking for a vice president of metallurgy. (B.S. in metallurgy, 10+ years experience required.) Dude, you're late to the party -- that guy's already making a metric ton of money.
Uh, okay: The American Institute of Physics wants a journal manager; B.S. in physical sciences required.
This sounds fun (not): Educational Testing Services needs a M.S. chemist to write test questions on chemistry. Sounds like a ball.
Want to detect neutrinos?: Brookhaven National Laboratory's Chemistry Department is looking for a M.S./Ph.D. chemist research associate. Sounds smart.
Uh, no football (not this year, anyway): Eastman Chemical Company is looking for a B.S./M.S. chemist for an electronics laboratory position to do with the semiconductor industry and cleaning formulations. The position is in Indianapolis, IN.
Elkhorn looks to be a suburb of Omaha, so at least it's not out in the panhandle.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't think badly of Omaha. Former Vice President Hubert Humphrey (also former Mayor of Minneapolis) said that without pro sports, Mineapolis would be a cold version of Omaha.
(Maybe I shouldn't have said that?)
If it's good enough for ol' Warren, it's good enough for me.
ReplyDeleteOracle of Omaha, represent! Should it perhaps be Earl of Elkhorn, then?
ReplyDelete@CJ: Lady Gaga filmed the music video for her song "Yoü and I" in Springfield, NE. Apparently one of her old flames was from Nebraska.
ReplyDeleteElkhorn is in fact the westernmost portion of Omaha. The town was annexed ~3 years ago. I moved to Omaha about 6 years ago and have enjoyed the city and its surroundings.
ReplyDeleteMore specifically to CJ's readers, there are a reasonable number of real chemistry postions around town. At ConAgra Foods. I work next door to a nice analytical chemistry lab.
@CJ, @SAO--I always thought "Sage of Omaha" would be a nice name for a local herb/spice store.
@Anon--I may be behind the times, but I thought Gaga's current flame was from NE. She's been spotted in town over the past few months.
