Coming: The 2022 Chemistry Job Scramble

Copying last year's Chemistry Job Scramble, Andrew Spaeth and I will be putting together a job market scramble to open on the week of March 7 for registration of employers and job seekers. This is an attempt to create a "thick" market for both job candidates and potential employers, especially those who did not get a faculty position this year. The basic contours: 

  • Registration will open for one week, starting March 7, 2022. It will close on 11:59 PM Eastern, March 12, 2022. We will register both potential employers and job candidates.
  • Potential employers will be required to post a position with an intent to hire before September 30, 2022. 
  • Job seekers will have to attest that they have not accepted a position with another employer. 
  • On March 14, job seekers will be offered access to the list of potential positions. They will not be offered access to the list of job seekers. 
  • On March 14, potential employers will be offered the list of job seekers. They will not be offered access to the list of potential employers. 
  • There will be no matching by Andrew or I - simply the provision of potential openings or candidates. 
  • Access to the list will be revoked after 2 weeks. 
  • This year, there will be an opportunity for a "signal" for job seekers; job seekers will be allowed one opportunity to send a short message (140 characters) to a single employer.

  1. Does it make sense to participate if I need visa sponsorship from an employer?

    1. Unknown, but we'll try to establish this clearly from the employer side.

  2. Will these positions include entry-level and BS-only qualifications?

    1. This is primarily aimed at people who entered the academic chemistry job market, but we expect both industrial and academic employers. I expect entry-level PhD positions, but I am skeptical that there will be many BS-only positions. That said, I would not turn them away.
