Daily Pump Trap: 4/19/11 edition

Good evening! Between April 14 and April 18, there were 105 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 9 (9%) are academically connected.

Taxpayer dollars at work: NIH is hiring a (very experienced) Ph.D.-level medicinal chemist to support NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program. This is a plum for someone, that's for sure. Nice salary, too.

Da, tovarisch!: 80 (76%) of positions posted were from the latest dump by Merck. It's fairly frustrating to sort through this mess of positions. I'm especially amused by the position that's a sales analytics position in Moscow, Russia. Be sure to pack your funny fur hat.

Inks: ITW Trident is a maker of ink jet printer ink; they're looking for a M.S./Ph.D. chemist who has 10+ years experience in ink formulation. I gotta interview one of these people sometime; readers, know any likely subjects?

You could try a Polish Boy!: Ben Venue Laboratories in Bedford, OH is looking for a B.S. chemist with 5+ years experience in the analytical field. Lots of paperwork, protocol writing and some supervision, looks like.

Huh: Watson Pharmaceuticals is looking for a B.S. chemist with 5-8 years of analytical experience to be a Chemist III on the 2nd shift. That's not something you see every day, shift work for chemists...

    Man, you have an incredible sense of humor. May be you should use it to earn money. Outstanding sense of humor.

  2. I'm going to guess that your comment is somewhat ironical. I'll fully admit that my DPT humor is pretty Leno-esque. I'll try harder.
