Good morning! Between February 2 and February 6, there were 49 positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 14 (29%) were academically connected and 14 (29%) were from Kelly Scientific Resources.
Santa Rosa, CA: Thermochem is a testing laboratory; they're looking for a B.S. chemist with minimum 5 years experience with gas chromatography.
Monroeville, PA: PPG Industries is looking a Ph.D. inorganic chemist to work on water purification technology. So Nalco has competitors, huh?
To the 20 men and women in America who have these qualifications: Boehringer Ingelheim (Ridgefield, CT) would like to try to hire you:
Sacramento, CA: AMPAC Fine Chemicals would like to hire a B.S./M.S./Ph.D. chemist with at least 6 years of industry experience. Polymer and organic experience is desired for this position; experience with thermoset and thermoplastics techniques desired.
West Lafayette, IN: Endocyte is searching for a Ph.D. analytical chemist for QC/cGMP work.

Sounds like B-I is on a bit of a purple squirrel hunt, eh? : )
ReplyDeleteI'd bet they are not looking for anyone.
ReplyDeleteAny seasoned process chemist (10+ years experience) should have most or all of these skills under their belt. I certainly do. I believe the problem lies in the perceived position is an entry-level position. BI apparently wants to hire an experienced person for ~1/3 the salary expected commensurate with this level of experience and expertise. Typical, just typical. I wonder how much their managers reel in, who advocate this type of fishing exercise.
ReplyDeleteI wanna know the salary from BI....shooooooot. I do all of this already... I just don't have a passport!!!! Hook a sista' up! HAHA.
