Dear All:
I am forwarding the following position description for a Joe Schroer
(designated "head hunter" working for a company to be named later). They
are looking for someone with experience in NMR characterization of polymers.
Initially using liquid-state NMR, but with the possibility/probability of
also utilizing solid-state NMR in the near future.
If you would like further details (i.e., what they mean by "Major
Metropolitan Area in the Northeastern USA"...hmmm, think "baked beans and
tea parties"), please contact Joe Schroer directly. I've just exhausted my
knowledge of the subject.
Cheers,
Rich Shoemaker
