1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
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.

Any bennies come with those jobs? (rhetorical question)

ReplyDeleteI work at a CSU (California State University) which is different from an UC institution. Lecturers in a CSU institution are entitled to health benefits for six months (for a semester system) or four months (for a quarter system) if they are hired at a 40% time base or greater, and also entitled to dental and vision benefits for four/six months at any teaching load. Teaching two 3-unit lecture classes, or three once-weekly lab classes, or two twice weekly lab classes (= 8 teaching units) covers this 40% teaching load requirement out of 15 units.
It seems that the UC system has a higher teaching load requirement (50% - see link below), which is not covered by only two 3-unit classes, but maybe the new hire could pick up one organic lab class to make it to past the 50% teaching load threshold.
