Purdue University Work Values

Daily Duties at Purdue University:

Study protein expression (such as band 3 and ankyrin), purification (ion exchange, affinity, and hydrophobic chromatography) from human RBCs and bacteria for protein complex, binding, and crystallization studies. Interpret and characterize structure and function of the human erythrocyte membrane through the experimentation designed. Oversee and manage biochemical assays on purified wild-type and mutant proteins such as GST binding assays and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assays. Carry out in-depth data definition of docking interface between erythrocyte band 3 and ankyrin protein to characterize contact residues between ankyrin and band 3. Perform competition assays, immunoassays on purified wild type and mutant proteins. Identified differences between band 3 complexes and released structural heterogeneity within band 3 subpopulations through diffusion study in intact erythrocytes. Ensure safe and quality handling of bacterial (microbiology) cultures, including culture development and maintenance, manipulation,and protein extraction. Optimize protein yield.

What they like about Purdue University:

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.
