Good morning! Uh, how's it going? Between May 29 and May 30, there were 12 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 7 (58%) are academically connected and 3 (25%) are from Kelly Scientific Resources.
Not much: There's not very much being put out here, with 2 whole positions in the last two days. One of them is not really a position, but...
Not sure what this is: But it sure isn't a job ad:

The addresses lead to a company called Medical Isotopes, Incorporated. Small company in New Hampshire -- interesting.
Open positions at Pfizer?: We seem to be hitting a lull, so I'm going to randomly look at large pharma and chemical company sites. For the search term "chemist", Pfizer has 3 positions available, 2 R4s (i.e. "senior scientists") and a R5/R6 ("principal scientist"). 2 of these were posted May 15, one posted late March.
