  1. The title says up to Ph.D is accepted, but the description clearly states MS is the maximum. This is an important detail to clarify.

  2. Anon, I believe that Ph.D. applications will be accepted. I deleted some wording from the advert that indicated as such.

  3. It does say something about the chemistry job market when an employer can, not unreasonably, seek a "Senior R&D Synthetic Organic Chemist. 8 + years of experience with bench to production needed, specifically with Terpene."

    Hopefully the company doesn't switch its focus to heterocycles next year.

  6. This Chris Smith dude was trying his best to reach out to me and left me a message. I spoke to him and it seems to me that this job is geared more towards some one with process background. May be they want some one with exemplary qualification for a pittance!
