How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, here's my CV, hire me maybe?
ReplyDeleteWHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO GET THAT SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD?!?!?!

ReplyDeleteRealistically, any postdocs reading this would just answer the 'Shy PI' ad. The other two have no chance. The introvert maybe from a few crazies, but there is no way I'm working for another assistant prof; I already did my time.
ReplyDeleteCJ: Have you ever watched "MADtv"? If so, do you remember the "Lowered Expectations" skit?
ReplyDeleteIn your entries, you forgot to include Not Seeking Affection, only entry into Big Pharma or R1-Level University.
I'm glad that you kept these personals wholesome. Otherwise, you can really get crazy with the innuendo: Into palladium? Wanna SN2? Looking for a group to do some "olefin metathesis"?
"Let's tear chemistry a new one." Sorry, I just find that one creepy...
