Good morning! (almost, to you on the East Coast) Between November 22 and November 28, there were 82 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 32 (38%) are academically connected. 1 (1%) is from our friends at Kelly Scientific.
Lexington, MA: Cubist is (once again) looking to hire a B.S./M.S. research associate for medicinal chemistry. Really, a plum for somebody out there.
The Arabian Peninsula: SABIC is hiring a raft of folks for work at their Riyadh center. 31 positions (38%), to be exact. Lots of engineering positions, but a number of chemistry positions as well. Unfortunately, many seem to require more than 3+ years experience, but I suspect they're more desperate than they let on. (Let me know?)
Lausanne, Switzerland: Nestle is hiring an analytical chemist and a flavor chemist (Ph.D. + postdoc) for their facility in Switzerland. Experienced desired.
Spruce Pine, NC: Unimin Corporation is a leading manufacturer of high quality quartz products; they're looking for a B.S./M.S. chemist who wishes to perform product development and process improvement. Recent grads OK, 2+ years exp. desired.
USA!?!: 4 Shimadzu field sales positions posted all over the US; boy, either they're making a push or their team got cleared out!

A plum, for sure, but why they can't give feedback for those not selected is beyond me
ReplyDeleteCubist has been "hiring" for that position for a really long time. You expect me to believe that despite being in Boston they're unable to secure reliable high quality talent?
ReplyDelete@Anon6:49 - Either that, or the BS/MS market is so tough and competitive there that turnover is a very real hurdle. I have friends in that market who jump ship every year to find a raise at a startup down the street.
ReplyDeleteAs they say, there's always a market for talent.
Wow, Riyadh. Would any American willingly live there? Alcohol, nightclubs, playing music in public and mingling with unrelated women are all banned. A wild night out in Saudi Arabia is getting a cup of coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass.
SAO, I'm very surprised to hear that even in this time people are able to constantly jump ship for higher wages, but I guess that really proves the data that says employers are more likely to hire someone who is already employed. I hope to be able to enjoy this perk as well.
