Good morning! Between July 19 and July 23, there were 70 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 7 (10%) were academically connected and 57 (81%) are from Kelly Scientific Resources.
Okay, what ARE they about?: Nektar Therapeutics in Huntsville, Alabama is once again looking for people: this time, 4 positions. They're a stalwart of ACS Careers -- what are they up to? Why have they been hiring for about 5 years now?

Denver, CO: Forensic Laboratories is searching for a B.S./M.S./Ph.D. method development chemist, with at least 2 years of experience.
Tucson, AZ: BASF is hiring a project manager for its mining division (it has a mining division -- this is a darn big company):

Little Lost Lamb: The Center for Naval Analyses is a government-contracted operations research firm; they work for the Navy (obviously.) The Kelly McGillis character in "Top Gun" is based on one of their analysts (who ended up later as the president of CNA). Anyway, they're in ACS Careers, looking for cyberwarfare operations analysts:

ReplyDeleteBASF bought some entire mining companies a few years ago. Surface mining.
ReplyDeleteNektar is a pharma company that is developing polymer-drug conjugates. The stuff they are doing in the pain field is really promising, in fact the FDA recently fast-tracked NKTR-181. They are able to limit the potential for opioid abuse by conjugated the opioid to a polymer.
