Daily Pump Trap: 10/2/14 edition

Good morning! A few of the recent positions posted at C&EN Jobs:

Lebanon, NH: Avitide is searching for a purification process development scientist (all educational levels accepted); looks to be monoclonal antibody-related? (That's a guess, happy to be corrected.) I like this little comment:
Avitide proudly promotes a cultural meritocracy and rewards based on intellectual talent and contributions made to the team and organization. 
"Cultural meritocracy"? I suspect that's "culture of meritocracy" and no one noticed the typo.

Torrance, CA: Medical Chemical Corporation is searching for one (or two?) B.S./M.S. production chemist positions.

Chattanooga, TN: A polysilicon manufacturer is looking for a M.S./Ph.D. analytical chemistry director. (Didn't know that Chattanooga had semiconductor manufacturing.)

San Luis Obispo, CA: Promega Biosciences desires a B.S. chemist for a manufacturing associate position.

A broader look: Monster, Careerbuilder, Indeed and USAjobs.gov show (respectively) 226, 887, 3273 and 25 positions for the search term "chemist."

  1. Agreed. The Chattanooga job is probably Wacker.

    Electricity is cheap in that area of the country, which is why both Wacker and Dow Corning / Hemlock Semiconductor are expanding there.

  3. "5+ years of experience in leading and supervising highly educated people"

    LOL! I guess highly educated people are difficult to lead or manage.
