It's back!: Well, the Index had to come back. If only there were a big spate of industrial jobs to talk about. Sadly, there's just a senior associate position at Celgene. But it's in San Diego -- lovely city.
Fall faculty searches: The academic recruiting issue is coming, and the number of available professorships is beginning to rise in the back of C&EN. September 13 is the big issue -- I'll be analyzing that, when it comes. Nevertheless, this issue is the first in a while to have more than 1 page of text ads.
Small college of the week: Rollins College (Winter Park, FL; student population: 3,294, SA-LUTE!) is looking for an assistant professor of biochemistry. Hey, they have a 300 MHz NMR! So if living in the Orlando area sounds like fun, this position might be for you!

It's that time again: for the No Industrial Job senryu...
No industry jobs!
What is the solution now?
Another postdoc?
Ruff: It's not the "dog days" of summer yet, but it might as well be. Not many ads overall.
Small college of the week: St. John's University (Queens, NY, student population: 20,069, SA-LUTE!) is looking for a visiting assistant professor in organic and general chemistry. Want to teach at a half-decent basketball school? Here's your chance!

Well!: It's the first one-pager in a while, with Genentech coming in strong with one of their old "BECAUSE" ads. Gilead and Grace post a nice set of positions, too.
Good luck with that: Novartis is looking for a senior EH&S manager for their Shanghai, China site. Not to get too overly cynical, but can you imagine what that job's going to be like? You're basically going to be the senior EH&S manager in China for Novartis, too. Um, no thanks.
I don't believe you: Gilead's rather lovely ad has the tagline "Careers for Life." Well, yes, but, well, no, I think you're trying to fool me.
So as I was sayin': W.R. Grace is looking for a R&D scientist in their batteries program. Desired traits? Ph.D. with 1 to 5 years experience in inorganic chemistry with battery experience.
Small college of the week: Southern Connecticut State University (New Haven, CT, student population: 7002 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for an assistant professor for physical chemistry. So if you want to be a professor at the other school in town (which has some serious football alumni!), this might be the job for you!

Yeah, it's been awhile: Yes, this is the first Index in months. Not to worry, I'll catch up. Really!
No, nothing much has changed: I've been looking, just not blogging about it. 2 industry positions, neither really exciting for the typical chemist. Well, maybe the Algenol position.
Small college of the week: Mt. Holyoke College (South Hadley, MA, student population: 2,200, SA-LUTE!) is looking for a senior laboratory instructor in organic chemistry. Sounds like fun, especially if you're into the rural thing. Good luck!

Nope: 3 ads this week. If there's a spring thaw coming (and I actually suspect there might be), it's not showing up in the pages of C&E News.
Small college of the week: Missouri Southern State University (Joplin, MO, student population: 4,861 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for a tenure track professor of organic chemistry. Other subjects to be taught include gen. chem., organic, biochemistry and solid state structural engineering (okay, kidding about that last.) Looks like they'll accept degreed candidates or ABDs; best of luck, folks!

Does Millenium count?: If no, then there's 3 ads. If yes, there are plenty of positions there. Hmmm.
What's that about?: Sharp-eyed reader T.E. notes that the industrial postdoc with Cytec (that is located in Stamford, CT) desires fluency in Mandarin Chinese ("preferred, but not essential.") What does that say about a company, huh?
Small college of the week: Gordon College (Wenham, MA, student population:1,648 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for a tenure-track position in physical chemistry. The college is a member of the "elite Annapolis Group" -- sounds like a good position for someone...

Nope, nada: Okay, there are a couple few ads, but nothing much, unless you count XEUS!
Bubble, anyone?: So what's the deal with all of these Chinese universities? I really get the feeling that they're just hiring people willy-nilly. Check out this ad from "East China University of Science and Technology" -- they're hiring folks for "biomolecular, bioprocess, bioproduct and biosystems engineering" for the State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering. I have no idea what that means, but it smells awfully "omics" to me.
Small college of the week: Fort Hays State University (Hays, KS, student population: 8,500 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for a tenure-track position in physical, general education and entry-level chemistry courses. Sounds like fun to me, especially if you'd like to spend some time in (as it's called) Hays, America.

Not much here: Three industrial ads. Remember 'green shoots'? Yeah, so do I.
Sniff, sniff: Are you a perfumer? International Flavors and Fragrances are looking for some. I've heard it's interesting chemistry, but I'm not really familiar with it.
Yeah, that'll happen: Nature Publishing Group is looking for a publisher. So in case you've been in charge of breaking out hot new journals with massive impact factor, this position might be for you.

Not so wonderful: Three industrial ads. One for RIKEN (in Japan), one for a company that's a Chinese import-exporter and one for a company looking for senior med-chem directors in Shanghai. Grreeeat.
Less all around: Faculty positions dropping to flat, with lots of temporary positions.
That being said: ETH-Zurich is looking for an NMR facility manager. Sounds like fun, and you get a chance to interact with some of the world's best young minds in organic chemistry.

One (still) is the loneliest number: Other than a "director of regulatory affairs" position (and what bench chemist wouldn't want to be one of those?!?), there's nothing here.
Faculty, too: The faculty positions have really petered out. Well, there's gotta be a slow season sometime.
Small college of the week: Florida A&M University (Tallahassee, FL, student population: 11,800, SA-LUTE!) is looking for a computation medicinal chemistry postdoc. "Preference will be given to candidates with an earned Ph.D. in Computational/Medicinal Chemistry with experience in molecular modeling, particularly the area of comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA)." Well, there you are. Sounds like fun, and you get to watch a great marching band.

"Preference will be given to candidates with an earned Ph.D. in Computational/Medicinal Chemistry with experience in molecular modeling, particularly the area of comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA)." Well, there you are. Sounds like fun, and you get to watch a great marching band.

One is the loneliest number: This particular week, only Millenium was looking. They're always looking, aren't they? This time, it's for clinical folks. Good luck to them.
Oi!: The University of Campinas is looking for Ph.D. holders in the chemical sciences to be professors. Don't know why this ad caught my eye, but I think it might be the tag that "Brazil is a fast developing country. Be part of the progress. Come work with us." Direct - I like it. Sounds like an interesting time for some enterprising professor...
Temps galore: Pomona College, Colby College, Lafayette College and Bates College all have open one year positions for visiting/temporary assistant professors. Good luck!
Small college of the week: The University of Tampa (Tampa (duh), FL, student population: 6,291 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for assistant professors in inorganic chemistry and organic/forensic(?) chemistry. Sounds like fun - wanna be a Spartan?

Academic-wise: Still chugging along, including some really questionable ones...
Got cash to burn? C&E News will take it: Nanyang Technical University has a half-pager for its College of Engineering. So it's advertising for tenure-track positions in bioinformatics, pharmaceutical and biomolecular engineering, synthetic biology, biophysiology, remote healthcare, medical devices, electrical power and energy, hybrid power systems, materials and devices for energy harvesting and storage, environmental chemistry, green building systems and materials, risk analysis and management, protective and resilient systems, urban infrastructure, artificial or computational intelligence, digital media processing, high performance computing, machine learning and intelligent agents, systems engineering applied to transportation and healthcare, biomimicry and information security.
See anything applicable to C&EN? Look carefully -- it's in there.
A moment to educate me: What's the point of a lecturer position? Is it a feeder into the tenure-track system? UC Berkeley is looking for a lecturer for organic chemistry. It looks tempting, but I'd love to know what the fate of lecturers are...
Small college of the week: Reed College (Portland, OR, student population: 1,442, SA-LUTE!) is looking for a visiting assistant professor in biochemistry or analytical chemistry. Ooooh, there's a 400 MHz NMR! Actually, Reed is a lovely campus and the students are quite bright (like top in the nation bright), so far as I understand. Watch out for the non-Reedie poseurs at Renn Faire.

Academic-wise: There's still stuff out there, but it's mostly temporary faculty and postdocs. US tenure-track positions have definitely slowed.
Small college of the week: Franklin and Marshall College (Lancaster, PA, student population: 2,118 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for two one-year visiting professors in chemistry, one for organic chemistry and the other, general and analytical chemistry. If you're interested in teaching at the alma mater of Spliff Star and Roy Scheider, this job might be for you!

Maybe Santa's late?
A glimpse into the future?: Emory University is looking for an assistant professor to begin staffing its NSF Phase I center in C-H functionalization. This is exciting stuff, as I've not heard of a center to look into the field (that I personally find fascinating.)

Small college of the week: The City University of New York - York College (Queens, NY, student population: >6000 students, SA-LUTE!) is looking for 2 tenure-track professors, one in inorganic chemistry and one in pharmaceutical science or medicinal chemistry. Sounds like fun, especially like you like the big city.

Uh, no: There's one ad for a GC-MS analytical chemist in Virginia. That's it, unless you count...
The worst ad of the year: Wuxi AppTec is one of the leading outsourcing companies in China, if I'm not mistaken. In this week's issue, there's a slightly-larger-than-quarter-panel ad for director-level positions. In 18-point font, a banner reading "WuXi AppTec is Hiring Talents". Not in copy editing, I see. In addition, there's the bottom tagline "WE ARE DETERMINED TO SERVE YOU BETTER", which is a bit of an ominous statement.
Holiday slowdown?: Academic positions are beginning to peter out a little...
Small college of the week: The University of Wisconsin - Superior (Superior, Wisconsin, student population: 2,800 - SA-LUTE!) is looking for a tenure-track profession in analytical chemistry. You'd be asked to teach a class in the "Chemistry of Natural Waters", which would be a good thing, considering the town is on Lake Superior. If you love the idea of living on one of the Great Lakes (and who wouldn't?), this might be for you.
