University Of California, Berkeley Work Values

Daily Duties at University Of California, Berkeley:

• Use single-molecule optical trapping techniques to study energetic and dynamic behavior of the different levels of chromatin—array of 8-12 nucleosomes, dinucleosome, and mononucleosome. Designed DNA fibers containing 1, 2, or more nucleosome positioning sequences. Optimized the techniques for in vitro formation of the various nucleosomal fibers and for the single molecule studies—bead:nucleosomal fiber ratio, buffer conditions. Aided in the construction of the dual beam optical trap used for the studies • Use single-molecule optical trapping techniques to study the condensation of DNA by positively charged synthetic spherical polymers (dendrimers) of various sizes. Investigated whether or not these synthetic polymers could mimic chromatin compaction, as well as how size and charge of these spherical polymers can affect DNA compaction. Assessed optimal buffer conditions to minimize non-specific interactions between the highly charged dendrimers and the microchamber/bead surfaces and of an efficient delivery system for the dendrimers.

What they like about University Of California, Berkeley:

Working for a company with an emphasis on social values and helping society is a clear and important priority for you - a critical factor in who you choose to work for. In contrast to other factors, you place an organization's reputation for fairness and concern for the community above most other aspects of the company. As you search for a new job opportunity, it is usually possible to find out if the company is involved in the community and/or if it is addressing problems and issues in society. Pay special attention to non-profit organizations and those specifically involved in social action. Moreover, speaking with current and former employees should enlighten you to perceptions of the fairness of the company's leaders and the treatment of employees.
