Chemist Salaries
College graduates receiving chemistry and chemical engineering degrees between July 2006 and June 2007 entered a still strong job market, the best since 2000.
College graduates receiving chemistry and chemical engineering degrees between July 2006 and June 2007 entered a still strong job market, the best since 2000. According to a salary survey conducted by the American Chemical Society, the percentage of 2007 chemistry graduates with full-time jobs increased to 39% for those receiving bachelor's degrees - an increase of 6% from the recent low of 33% for 2003 graduates. The percentages of 2007 master's and Ph.D. graduates with full-time jobs were 52% and 43%, respectively. Starting salaries for 2007 chemistry bachelor's graduates increased 4% from 2006 to a median of $37,500; median starting salaries for master's graduates fell slightly from $50,400 in 2006 to $50,000 in 2007, and for 2007 Ph.D. graduates the median starting salary was $70,000.
An LC–HRMS Method for Separation and Identification of Hemoglobin Variant Subunits
March 6th 2025Researchers from Stanford University’s School of Medicine and Stanford Health Care report the development of a liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) method for identifying hemoglobin (Hb) variants. The method can effectively separate several pairs of normal and variant Hb subunits with mass shifts of less than 1 Da and accurately identify them in intact-protein and top-down analyses.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
