Good morning! Between July 21 and July 25, there were 39 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 8 (21%) were academically connected.
Hmmm: BMS is hiring Ph.D. biochemists for cell culture process development, it appears. 8 positions, all on the East Coast.
Suit me up: Budd Larner is a law firm in Short Hills, NJ and environs. They're looking for a M.S./Ph.D. chemist to be a scientific advisor (most likely for a patent agent position.) No training required, looks like.
Workin' for the man: NIH is looking a M.S./Ph.D. chemist for a drug discovery project managment position; this is part of their CNS 'virtual pharma' project. Let us hope the drugs are not virtual very long.
Welcome back, Ian: Pfizer is looking for a M.S./Ph.D. chemist to run the NMR facility/structure elucidation group that works with the medicinal chemist. First Groton position in a very, very, very long time (1 year?) and first Pfizer position in a while, too.
And the College World Series, too!: Sygenta in Omaha, NE is looking for a B.S./M.S./Ph.D. analytical chemist to perform plant support roles. Sounds like a challenging position for someone.
Taste and see: Tate and Lyle is looking for an experienced M.S./Ph.D. chemist for a flavor analysis position; "understanding of carbohydrate chemistry in food systems and familiarity with sensory methodologies" is desired. Think you get free Diet Coke?
Des Plaines, IL: UOP (a petroleum products company) desires a Ph.D. chemist to be a Catalysis and Materials group leader; you'll be working with a "vibrant team of inorganic chemists, physical chemists, and chemical engineers." Vibrant!
Isn't Groton the location that Pfizer was going to close and shuffle people to Boston, but then so few of the people accepted the deals that they left it open? That's a sinking ship if I ever heard of one.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever seen a "vibrant team" of chemists? Maybe they crank 'em up on speed before your interview....
ReplyDelete"Vibrant" is an adjective I've learned to mistrust -- no one knows what it means, for one.
ReplyDeleteI know a group that wears tie dye lab coats. That's vibrant. I guess?
