The Scientist | Careers

The Scientist magazine for the life sciences has an excellent careers section that covers the biotech, pharmaceutical, and life science fields. It's useful even if you aren't a life scientist. Want to know whether the $40k postdoc in New York City is really better than the $40k postdoc in Houston? Compare the two in the cost of living calculator. (Tip: You'd need $70k in NYC to afford the same standard of living as a $40k job in Houston.) The Scientist Careers website has other helpful sections including feature articles, job listings, resume writing help, information on schools for your kids, career coaching, and visa/immigration info for the US, UK, and Canada.
