Tewksbury, MA: Cambridge Isotopes is looking for a B.S./M.S. QC chemist.
Dalton, GA: Mohawk Industries is a flooring company; they appear to be looking for a B.S. chemist (0-2 years) to do research and testing. "Develop and maintain a colorfastness database." Huh.
"analytical chemist to set-up a dose forumation lab" They have another typo in "salary comesurate with experience" For 30-45K seeking a chemist who can set up his own lab, they certainly meant "commiserate"
ReplyDeleteMohawk is stretching here... "Induce changes in composition of substances by introduction of heat, light, energy and chemical catalysts"
ReplyDeleteLikely Translation : Take samples and put them in a lightbox. Take samples and put them in an oven. Take sample and scrub them with cleaners. Measure Lab by Minolta. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
How many thousands of "technically qualified applicants" are going to swarm those 2 Ropes and Gray positions?
ReplyDeleteLots, but law firms are like pharma companies in terms of pedigree. Anyone graduating from less than a top 10 type school need not apply.
DeleteI'm sure their HR filter is very, very good at weeding out those they don't deem appropriate. With that salary and the promise of a free law education while making 80% of that (I'm sure 'part time' work is 50h a week while going to school), they'll have a small group of people willing to cut the throats of a family member to get that job.
Dalton, GA has a cluster of small chemical operations supporting the many carpet plants in the area. Maybe not cutting-edge stuff, but there are a lot of jobs for chemists there.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, that makes sense. Thank you.
