University Of Washington Work Values

Daily Duties at University Of Washington:

• Design X-ray structure-based small molecule inhibitors and develop a novel assay for detecting trypanosomal triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) from trypanosomes, a causative agent of African sleeping sickness, for potential therapeutics. • Culture mammalian cells infected with retrovirus (SRV) and develop assays for improved detection of the viral antigens. • Design and develop self-assembling lipo-peptides, as pro-drug microstructures for controlled release of drug molecules. • Teach a laboratory class that includes giving lab lectures, supervising, evaluating, & mentoring students, holding office hours, leading small group discussion sections. • Making research presentations

What they like about University Of Washington:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
