Daily Pump Trap: 2/15/11 edition

Good morning! Between February 10 and February 14, there were 28 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 15 (54%) are academically connected.

Catalysts!: Rennovia is a catalyst startup company; they're looking for (it appears) 2 Ph.D. chemists with experience in catalysts, one very senior (5+ years experience) and one a little less senior (3+).

Fizzy!: Pepsi is looking for a senior scientist to work on "creating data based insight and foundation knowledge of the volatile chemical composition of PepsiCo beverages, foods, ingredients and packaging. The individual will be responsible for conducting volatile analyses, instrument maintenance, and collaborating with product, process, ingredient, quality, and packaging scientists." Sounds like they're looking for an analytical chemist.

Sheep!: Industrial Research Limited is "one of New Zealand’s leading scientific research organisations." They're looking for a Ph.D. organic chemist with experience in carbohydrate chemistry for a 2-year contract. (International candidates considered.)

Golly gee!: USEPA is looking for, well, a senior manager, I think. Why don't you decide for yourself: "EPA ORD is seeking a senior science manager to fill a Branch Chief position in the National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) in Cincinnati, Ohio. This position will serve as the Branch Chief for the Systems Analysis Branch within the Sustainable Technologies Division of NRMRL." What does that even mean?

Well, they're happy to tell you: "The Branch Chief reports to the Division Director and exercises supervisory management responsibilities over staff members; develops, implements and conducts research programs in the field of life cycle assessment including methodology and impact assessment developments, and development of sustainable supply chains for biofuels; assists and advises the Division Director in the formulation of research goals and objectives; promotes effective use of all administrative resources." Yeah, that. Um, good luck!
