 Chemists and materials scientists
Chemists and materials scientists are employed in all parts of the country, but they are mainly concentrated in large industrial areas.
Chemists who hold a Ph.D. and have previous industrial experience may be particularly attractive to employers because such people are more likely to understand the complex regulations that apply to the pharmaceutical industry.
Chemists also will be needed to develop and improve the technologies and processes used to produce chemicals for all purposes, and to monitor and measure air and water pollutants to ensure compliance with local, State, and Federal environmental regulations.

 Library Handbook for Organic Chemists
Organic chemists are taught early on about the singular importance of the field's scholarly literature, which is one of the largest and most complex of any discipline.
In spite of the instructional efforts of libraries, information-finding skills (and prejudices) are generally passed on from professor to graduate student, from senior chemist to junior chemist.
Since many of the time-honored, retrospective resources exist only in print format, organic chemists tend to be more familiar with and dependent on their physical libraries than most other scientists are nowadays.

 Chemist's Biographies
He is a synthetic organic chemist, working initially on stereospecific synthesis of natural products, before switching to the synthesis of enzyme inhibitors and metabolic intermediates.
Emil Hermann Fischer (1852-1919), perhaps the greatest organic chemist and a pioneering biochemist, was born in Euskirchen near Bonn and studied chemistry at Bonn after a commercial education.

In organic synthesis, for example, the Nobel Foundation described Hans Fischer's 1929 synthesis of hemin as a "gigantic labor" when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1930.
Organic synthesis depends on being able to analyze a structure to tell what it is and how far you have progressed in synthesizing it.
While the VB and MO theories were harnessed to describe the bonding in both organic and inorganic compounds, a third quantum mechanical approach-crystal field theory-was developed specifically to deal with inorganic compounds, particularly coordination compounds.

 EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
In fact, demand for chemists in some fields, such as synthetic organic chemistry, was so competitive last year that pharmaceutical companies were offering sign-on bonuses not only to Ph.D. chemists with the requisite skills but also to B.S. chemists with appropriate expertise.
Thus, chemists and engineers at all degree levels with expertise in enzymology and biochemistry will be on the hiring ticket, as will textile chemists and engineers.
Pending congressional funding, FDA also will be hiring 300 Ph.D. chemists, pharmacologists, toxicologists, and microbiologists over the next five years for consumer safety officer positions at its Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Rockville, Md., says Keith Ariola, the center's physician and medical staff recruiter.

 Scientific American: Organic Chemists Receive Nobel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Organic chemists Yves Chauvin, Robert Grubbs, and Richard Schrock have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking research on a reaction called metathesis, which breaks the bonds of carbon-based molecules so that they can be combined with other elements including hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine to form new molecules.
Organic chemistry is based on the multitalented carbon molecule, which has the ability to break apart and bind with a host of other elements.
The process that makes it happen, called metathesis, was first reported in the 1950s and slowly gained notoriety as more and more chemists began to realize its potential.

They now are applying the synthesis method to other members of this class of compounds called diterpenes, some of which also have activity against TB and are potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer agents.
Davies explained that the family of marine compounds called diterpenes was discovered and demonstrated to have anti-TB activity in 2000, but as with most natural products, so little could be extracted from the marine organism that full biological evaluation was not possible.
To circumvent the problem, chemists have concentrated their efforts on producing the compounds in the laboratory.
