Hoboken, NJ: Wiley is searching for a sales associate for their chemistry databases. Wiley has chemistry databases?
Tulsa, OK: A staffing agency is looking for a high school diploma holder or B.S. chemist to be a lab tech for an olefin polymerization lab. In the right circumstances, this would be a great position to get some oil/gas/polymer experience -- hopefully for a little more than $16-$18/hour, though. (Unknown how good that is in Tulsa.)
Emeryville, CA: Sandia National Laboratories desires a Ph.D. computational biologist/chemist for a postdoctoral position to work on biomass research. Bet they pay well (I hope.)
Who are you?: Can anyone tell me who this "sales technical consultant" position is with? (NY/NJ area)
If you scroll down to the gray box at the bottom of the Sale Technical Consultant position, it talks about Phenomenex. I would imagine it is with them.

A few years ago, an invitation to test the database posted on chemistry-blog, with the promise of a fee being paid for doing so. I contacted Wiley and sure enough, they said I would be paid $300 for an hour of testing (a nice little treat for a postdoc). I'm sure people will be shocked to hear the check never made it and that Wiley was mysteriously difficult to contact after that.
DeleteIn a nutshell, it's Wiley's version of SciFinder. Europe trying to bite into that ACS cake.
