Hankamer, TX: A mysterious company is looking for a B.S. chemist to be a QA/QC person. I'm terribly curious as to what plant this is -- it doesn't really show up on Google Maps (not after a cursory glance, anyway.)
Alexandria, VA: The Institute for Defense Analyses runs federally-funded R&D centers towards defense-related issues. They're looking for M.S./Ph.D. physical scientists -- sounds interesting, if you're looking for that sort of thing.
Who are these folks?: Monster.com routinely advertises a ink formulation chemist position in Colorado Springs, CO. Who are these folks (they don't tell you.)
A broader look: Monster, Careerbuilder, Indeed, and USAjobs.gov show (respectively) 234, 795, 2,741 and 8 positions for the search term "chemist."
Hankamer, on Indeed, is listed as East Houston, Baytown, Port Arthur, and Beaumont. There are all kinds of small, start-ups there that cater to outsourcing demands of the oil industry. And ExxonMobil is just down the road in Baytown.

I'm sure it's a fine company, but the name stinks.
