Washington State University Work Values

Daily Duties at Washington State University:

(1) construction and application of different types of microelectrodes and quantification of biofilm properties and identification of the roles of hyperosmotic agents for the potential effects of different antibiotics on the wound biofilm pathogenic bacteria, (2) tracking, analyzing and reporting environmental indicators

What they like about Washington State University:

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.
