Daily Pump Trap: 1/18/11 edition

Good morning! Between January 13 and January 17, there were 37 new positions posted on the ACS Careers website. Of these, 21 (57%) are academically connected.

Multiples!: Always like a multiple post. Vertex weighs in with more temp positions, Biogen Idec and Cambridge Major do as well. Good news.

Chew on this: The Wrigley Company is looking for an experienced Ph.D. organic/polymer chemist; you'll be working " primarily in the area of new matrix material development and will be an important subject matter expert for existing matrix systems." So new gum?

The desert: Jacobs Technology is a contractor for Dugway Proving Ground, a military test facility in Utah. They're looking for two analytical chemists. Enjoy!

The miracle?: HEC Pharma is a new drug discovery company based "in the miracle city of Shenzhen in China" is looking for pharma scientists of all kinds. I've never been to Shenzhen, but I'm guessing that miracle is not one of the words a typical Westerner would use. Remarkable, certainly. Miracle? Hmmmmmm.

  1. That Wrigley's position has been out there for a while. Eric Brown, a fellow rheology blogger wrote about it back in September.

  2. I think it's a different position, John. This one seems to be a tad more synthetically oriented.

  3. CJ is right, John. The orginal position was all about materials characterization. There is some overlap in knowledge base though.

  4. There are far more charming places in China than Shenzhen. Aside from chemistry jobs, go there only if you want to eat endangered animals and buy knockoff brand merchandise. Incidentally, that part of China begat SARS.

looks like Blogger doesn't work with anonymous comments from Chrome browsers at the moment - works in Microsoft Edge, or from Chrome with a Blogger account - sorry! CJ 3/21/20
