CSW Career/Jobs Club
The Career/Jobs Club assists chemists in obtaining positions in chemistry related fields,
mainly in the DC Metropolitan area. Each chemist must formulate his or her career development plans.
Mergers, downsizing, rightsizing, reorganization, and liquidation of companies have changed the job markets for chemists.
ACS members and Student Affiliates, who are looking for jobs,
submit a brief resumé, and it will be posted it for up to six months.
(Please notify if the resumé should be removed earlier.)
This is a free service for you by the CSW section of the American Chemical Society. The club offers only information to chemists, and all position postings on our Web site are done with the permission of the company. The club is not an employment agency.
Also, information on the Chemjobs, American Chemical Society's Online Career Center and other resourses are available below.
