Aeras Work Values

Daily Duties at Aeras:

This was a period of time were a surge of phase I clinical trials for different vaccines candidates primarily Aeras 402 and 404 were starting domestically (Lenexa, Kansas) and globally. I did extensive preparation and traveling to present information at study initiation visits (SIV) at the Walter Reed Research in Kondele/Kambewa Kenya, SATVI in Worcester/Cape Town South Africa, vaccine Research Center/University Tampere Finland and the Karolinska Institute in Huddinge Sweden. I was able to evaluate all site facilities, floor plans, existing equipment, its maintenance, cell isolation, QuantiFeron assays and controlled rate freezing procedures, personnel training needs for study conduct and provide training on those areas the staff was not sufficiently proficient. I also extended the hands-on training to the couriers (Marken) involved in shipping the specimens to the US.

What they like about Aeras:

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.
