Coming: The 2021 Chemistry Job Scramble

Copying the annual Economic Job Market Scramble, Andrew Spaeth and I will be putting together a job market scramble to open tomorrow, Tuesday, April 6 for registration of employers and job seekers. This is an attempt to create a "thick" market for both job candidates and potential employers, especially those who did not get a faculty position this year. The basic contours: 
  • Registration will open for one week, starting tomorrow, April 6, 2021. It will close on April 13, 2021. 
  • We will register both potential employers and job candidates.
  • Potential employers will be required to post a position with an intent to hire before September 30, 2021. 
  • Job seekers will have to attest that they have not accepted a position with another employer. 
  • On April 14, job seekers will be offered access to the list of potential positions. They will not be offered access to the list of job seekers. 
  • On April 14, potential employers will be offered the list of job seekers. They will not be offered access to the list of potential employers. 
  • There will be no matching by Andrew or I - simply the provision of potential openings or candidates. 
  • Access to the list will be revoked after 2 weeks.

    Thanks for doing this! Obviously there's no way to know in advance, but are you anticipating more industry or academic employers?

    Adding to this question, do you expect any tenure-track faculty positions to be posted in the scramble? I did not find a faculty position this cycle and am planning on applying again next year, and I don't want to waste CJ's, my, or the employers time by participating in this if there will be no relevant positions for me.

    I suspect there will be more industrial employers, but this is genuinely unknown. My goal is to keep people informed via the blog and Twitter during the sign-up period.
