I'm a chem grad from outside the US looking to get into a US uni for my ph d. How proficient with the use of analytical instruments (gcms, hpkc, aas, uvvis) am I expected to be to work in the uni? Ilve sadly only been able to handle each of instruments about once per class and the rest of the time we had a lab tech actually running the tests.
Can I expect them to train me to use the instruments as a grad student?
Also, while I'm at it, anybody have the link to library genesis that has scientific documents?

lol, yes someone will train you b/c the rest of the group doesn't want you to damage the instrument.
Usually each member of the group has a 'group job' meaning a particular person in charge of each instrument.
>anybody have the link to library genesis that has scientific documents?
I thought they got sued and had to take it down.

Whew thanks. That's a relief.
Lib gen had several different urls. One still had links to academic papers. I had it on my comp which is currently in service and it was still up last I checked which I can't remember when.

Do you need a Phd to get a Chem related job like you were a Psychology student? (i.e cant get a psychologist job with just Bachelors)

It depends on the kind of job you want. Ph.D. jobs are hard to come by, especially in industry, chemistry bachelors can work in just about any lab though.

Lab work seems alright, even if I dont get paid more than a McDonald's job. That's really the end goal for me. Hopefully work will be abundant for me when I graduate 2019, or least not impossible.

I tried IBM's online job placement and was served positions that required a Ph.D. even though the job description was exactly what I did for undergrad.
