Indianapolis, IN: Eli Lilly is looking for an M.S./Ph.D. chemist to perform duties within the Laboratory Automation Group; responsibilities include the separation and characterization of small molecules. Experience in compound management desirable.
St. Joseph, MO: Winfield Solutions (a division of Land O' Lakes (yes, the butter people)) is looking for a process formulator for pesticides and herbicides; B.S. in chemistry with manufacturing experience desired. That's not something you think about mixing, but really, LoL is apparently an agricultural cooperative.
Tumalo, OR: Bend Research is looking for a Ph.D. chemist to be a senior research chemist; experience with solid-state organic chemistry a requirement. The job will entail studying novel pharmaceutical formulation stability. "Pay: Commiserate with experience"? Uh, yes, that does happen, especially in today's economy.
Oh, you meant commensurate with experience. Ah, yes.
Yola, Nigeria: The American University of Nigeria is looking for a Ph.D. chemist to become faculty in the field of petroleum chemistry. Now that's a new one (not really -- they post about 3 times a year, it seems.)
A broader look: Monster, Careerbuilder, Indeed and USAjobs.gov show (respectively) 300, 664, 3,331 and 25 positions for the search term "chemist."
Are they really going to find someone to relocate to Bend, OR for "commiserate pay"? It is by no means metropolitan, but it is one of the better small cities you could live in for sure. It's quite far removed from anything, and hardly anyone outside of the Pacific Northwest has heard of it unless you are a hard core skier. It's an unfortunate typo and it will affect the seriousness of their applicant pool.
