I've found a few places in the US that allow people to come in and use their equipment to conduct experiments, for example Genspace in NY - http://genspace.org/. Is anyone aware of other places with a similar setup?
The reason I ask is that I've created a website that connects scientific professionals (previously posted on HN). We've had a few chemistry jobs posted but often run up against University IP issues when recruiting students/post-grads. An example listing is here: http://zombal.com/zomb/scientific-experiment/uv-vis-spectroscopy-and-photolumensence-quantum-yield
