Good morning! Welcome to the Ivory Filter Flask; there were 24 new academic positions posted on the ACS Careers website. It's not intended as a comprehensive look at the academic labor market (yet); it will focus on notable, desirable or oddball positions (much like the Daily Pump Trap). It's going to be primarily aimed at younger faculty members; I sincerely doubt I have much readership amongst tenured faculty.
Thoughts on structure and organization are very welcome at chemjobber -at- gmail/dot/com.
Below is a by-the-numbers look:
Total number of ads: 24
