Good morning! Between November 3 and November 7, there have been 86 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 35 (41%) are academically connected.
Andover, MA: Cambridge Isotope Laboratories is looking for a Ph.D. organic/analytical chemist to be a senior quality control chemist. 1+ years of supervisory/GMP experience desired.
[Insertglue adhesives pun here]: Adhesives Research Inc. is looking for a M.S. polymer chemist for product development. Franklin International is looking for a B.S. analytical chemist for analytical support of its adhesives product development efforts.
Bellefonte, PA: Sigma-Aldrich desires a Ph.D. analytical chemist with 5+ years experience with GC and GC/MS. "Development, evaluation and application of new and innovative separation technologies such as Supelco's exclusive and patented solid phase microextraction (SPME) technology will be an immediate focus of this position."
You again: Millenium is once again posting its "multiple positions" ad. Fishing?
Merck: Are you a chemist? Do you love chemistry? Merck would like to know if you want to be a historian of its video archives. Really, Merck HR? Are you kidding me? (39 positions this week (45%))

Glue? Come on. Glue is white and comes in a bottle with a picture of cow's head on it (or maybe a gorilla).
ReplyDeleteWe're talking "adhesives" here. High-tech, engineered products, the stuff that keeps wings on an airplane, not something that holds a 5-year old's Popsicle stick sculpture together.
This is like that Navy ship/boat thing, right? OK.
ReplyDeleteThat's my story and I'm sticking to it.
ReplyDeleteIronically, the Adhesives Research company develops pressure-sensitive adhesives for medical devices and the pharmaceutical industry, according to the job announcement. A far cry from developing the next Elmers's Glue.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I love them high-tech engineered adhesives, I'm seriously considering never flying in a plane again unless besides the adhesives, they also got metal bolts and an extensive beam/frame system that is fused together, that's the primary thing holding the wings attached to the fuselage.
ReplyDeleteCall me old-fashioned and a bad chemist, but there is something about mechanical stability that I value way over covalent bonds in my Boeing.
The problem with bolts is that they localize and concentrate the stress. With adhesives, the stress is applied across the entire bonding surface.
