Good morning! Between May 8 and May 9, there were 25 new positions posted on the ACS Careers database. Of these, 5 (20%) were academically connected and 16 (64%) were from Kelly Scientific Resources.
Baltimore, MD: Sterilex Corporation is looking for a B.S./M.S. chemist with 2+ years experience in formulating consumer cleaning products for a research chemist position. EPA/FIFRA understanding important.
Stockton, CA: Corn Products International is looking for a head of its QC laboratory; B.S. in chemistry desired with knowledge of "GMP, HACCP, Food Drug and Cosmetics Act and FDA regulations and experience with ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000 quality systems." Sounds exciting.

Would someone please take this position?: Monster has been advertising this polymer/ink chemist position in Colorado Springs, CO for what seems like forever. M.S./Ph.D. desired.
A broader look: Monster, Careerbuilder, Indeed and USAjobs.gov show (respectively) 272, 809, 3141 and 35 positions for the search term "chemist."
I declare that the opening in Colorado Springs is proof positive that there is a lack of STEM capable people in the workforce. There is no unemployment problem for STEM, there never has been.

DeleteStockton is a hideous little town with a high crime rate.
ReplyDeleteStockton is neither a town nor little (even by California standards), though hideousness is in the eyes of the beholder.
