A few of the positions posted on C&EN Jobs this past week:

Cambridge, MA: Novartis, looking for a head of cheminformatics.

Des Moines, IA: Not every day you see an IP law position located in the Hawkeye State.

Dayton, OH: I would really like to know what this position is about:
UES is seeking a Chemical Biologist to lead the toxicology-high content analysis effort in support of USAFSAM at the Air Force Research Laboratory – Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH. The successful candidate will focus on automation and cell culture screening for toxicants and genetic/phenotypic markers as well as high-throughput analysis. Some of the primary functions of the role will include:
  • Development of cell culture screening system
  • Development of high-content analysis pipeline
  • Attending and presenting at lab meetings, conferences and workshops
  • Provide broad technical support to the HCA team
  • Write and publish manuscripts
PhD in Biology, Genetics, Biochemistry, Toxicology or related field of study. Must have experience developing and testing cell culture screening systems, including laboratory automation. Experience working with high content analysis systems is required. Must have excellent interpersonal communication and writing skills. 
USAFSAM is the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine, which I did not know existed before today.

(Also, it's not clear to me why this position is posted as a chemical biologist.)

South San Francisco, CA: Genentech, looking for a computational postdoc.

  1. The Air Force has always had an interest in high-energy materials, particularly for things that are expected to exceed escape velocity once. They aren't exempt from regulations about brownfields and industrial exposure however, so they have a fairly active program that concerns itself with the toxicology of some rather unusual compounds. I thought that calling the people who ran screening programs chemical biologists was somewhat mainstream these days, though I could certainly be wrong about that.
