Daily Pump Trap: 12/3/13 edition

Good morning! Between November 26 and December 3, there were 48 new positions posted on the C&EN Jobs website. Of these, 26 (54%) were academically connected and 10 (21%) were from Kelly Scientific Resources. 

Seattle, WA: Seattle Genetics looking for a B.S./M.S. senior research associate in process chemistry, 3-8 years experience desired.

Monroeville, PA: Axiall Corporation desires a Ph.D. inorganic chemist with 5-10 years experience for a Development Chemist II position; looks to be related to water treatment research.

Makeup?: Cosmopolitan USA is looking for a consulting colloid/surface chemist; $75-150/hr consulting rate?

Shamrock Technologies is back!: Not looking for a Scientist Friday this time, but still writing the ads floridly, desiring a lab tech. $35-45/hr, not bad.

Wilmington, NC: Gotta love this ad for Next Glass for a LC/MS chemist (M.S./Ph.D., 5+ years exp.):

Next Glass, Inc. (www.nextglass.co), is a Wilmington, NC-based company developing a wine and beer recommendation engine application (think Pandora for wine and beer).  The company is seeking a Senior Analytical Chemist excited about the prospect of creating methods for, and overseeing the testing of, 20,000+ plus bottles of wine and beer using a Thermo Fisher Benchtop Orbitrap Exactive LC-MS system, as well as other instruments.  The Next Glass team loves hard-working team players who want to contribute to demystifying the wine and beer selection process! 

Compensation: We pay top-dollar salaries (competitive with the pharma industry for Analytical Chemists) to attract “A” players.  The stock options aren’t bad either! 

Benefits: Family Health Insurance • Gym Membership • Fully-stocked Pantry • Lunches on Next Glass (you choose where, Monday - Friday) • $50/month for Wine and Beer Exploration • Unlimited Vacation • Massage Wednesdays • Company Credit Card

If this is really true, this is a great job for someone (or a potential way to earn yourself a sobriety coin.)
