Jobs for Chemists

Over the last decade, long before the recession hit, the job situation for organic chemists, especially those who ply their trade in the pharmaceutical industry, has been miserable.  Outsourcing and off-shoring have been the order of the day.  And, of course, when you try to outsource the most creative part of your enterprise, you get the expected results.

 I've lived a sort of nomad career during that time, having been laid off with two site closings by the big pharmaceutical companies Lilly and Pfizer.  So I was somewhat interested when I got an email from the ACS (American Chemical Society) Medicinal Chemistry division via Linked-In with the title "3 Jobs".  However, when I opened the email....  well a picture sort of says it all.
