k! That moment a very small percentage of you have been waiting for! After an almost 18 month hiring freeze...we are hiring postdocs! Our first position is for an analytical instrumental chemist! See the PDF below, and visit the group page! #Chempostdoc
https://trantteam.ca/
(The ad is attached about mid-way down the page...Adding a direct link doesn't seem to work)
The pay is Canadian. Sorry. Tell our funding agencies to give us more money. But it is a comfortable life in Windsor, which is...aggressively a fine place to live. Safe, culturally enriched, but not a sexy party town like Montreal or Syracuse.
I promise good science, good colleagues, good chance for soft skill enrichment, the most interdisciplinary academic chem research team anywhere (I'm open to challengers!), and a reasonable boss (once he's had his coffee).
Feel free to share with anyone who is looking. We hire the person, not the CV. Good people are welcome. Bigots can go jump off a short pier.
NOTE: I am getting a ton of approaches and messages over LinkedIn for this. I understand why, but don't do that. There are clear instructions in the ad. If you can't follow clear instructions, then I think we might not have a good working relationship. The application process is designed to be equitable--if you want to apply, use it. There is a lot of detail as to what we are looking for, if you don't meet the minimum skillset criteria, others do. I will be VERY surprised if we find anyone who has ALL the preferred experience (so don't select out on that). Your cover letter is your chance to discuss WHY you meet the criteria, both minimal and preferred, and what else you can do too. That's what a cover letter is for. I read them first.
Consequently, I will not be considering applications that do not follow the process. Questions are fine, but I think most of what I can talk about at this point is in the ad, and I haven't received any questions in all the contacts on this position yet.
