Los Alamos National Laboratory Work Values

Daily Duties at Los Alamos National Laboratory:

Investigated intracellular signal transduction mediated by the HIV-1 coat protein gp120 and the T-cell receptors CD4 and CXCR4. Applied microarrays and ELISAs to monitor changes in cellular gene transcription/translation when T cells were stimulated with extracellular gp120.

What they like about Los Alamos National Laboratory:

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.
