This fall's "Back to School" issue of C&EN was last week. That said, considering the lack of #chemjobs-related articles in this week's issue, I thought I would cover the ads in the back of last week's issue. There were 91 ads, which is a slightly higher number than last week's 88. Below are the ads where the words "organic" or "organic chemistry" were used. I did not include any positions where "any field" was used. Asterisks are placed next to schools that were advertising for organic chemists last year in the same issue:
Wayne State University, Detroit, MI*
Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA
Williams College, Williamstown, MA
University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR
University of Vermont, Burlington, VT
University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS
Clark University, Worcester, MA
Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX*
Haverford College, Haverford, PA
Lake Superior State University, Sault Ste. Marie, MI
Hanover College, Hanover, IN
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA*
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY*
Stanford University, Stanford, CA*
Drury University, Springfield, MO
Texas State University - San Marcos, San Marcos, TX
State University of New York at Binghamton, Binghamton, NY
University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA
Davidson College, Davidson, NC
University of Central Missouri, Warrensburg, MO
There you have it -- 20 potential positions for organic chemists. Good luck!

Great post. I'll be applying next year so I hope you keep it up.
ReplyDeleteMyself and a close friend both had phone interviews for the SMU position. We thought that we had both been rejected, but perhaps they pulled the position.
ReplyDeleteI am really happy that I already am one and don't have to go through this again!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the large amounts of posts correlate with expansion of chemistry departments or an decrease in the amount of tenures granted.
ReplyDeleteHard to say. I don't have historical data on the "Back to School" issue yet, so I don't really know how things have risen and fallen.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that departments have just barely managed to keep their faculty steady and the spots that are open are basically 1) for replacement of needed slots and 2) fishing for people to bring funding in (re: green bionanosolar technology professorship ads.)
