Lindsborg, KS: Bethany College is a private 4 year school -- they're searching for a tenure-track professor of organic chemistry. Ph.D. desired, ABD acceptable. Very close to the geographical center of the United States!
The Yankees Win. Thhhhaaaaa Yankees Win: (Sorry, had to indulge.) Yeshiva University (NYC) is looking for a tenure-track professor of chemistry; no subfield specified.
Durham, NC: Duke University is searching for a postdoc with skills in protein-polymer conjugate synthesis.
Madison, WI: UW-Madison desires a Ph.D. chemist for an undergraduate chemistry coordinator position; this position has the biggest grab bag of descriptors ever. Caveat emptor. 5 years experience!?!?

I would be very careful about that UW Madison position. I've interviewed for a few positions like this and they run the gamut from "I know this says PhD, but it's really a Master's level position" to "I know it says entry level, but we're looking for someone who's been doing this exact same job for a while."
ReplyDeleteI don't recall the pay for these positions being spectacular either, especially for someone with 5 years exp.
