Georgia State University Work Values

Daily Duties at Georgia State University:

Manipulated and generated of full-length respiratory syncytial virus and canine distemper virus. Performed mutagenesis of fusion proteins of respiratory syncytial virus for generating a full-length recombinant virus. Rescued recombinant viruses in cell culture. Designed full-length recombinant respiratory syncytial virus strains. Used RDRP assays to aid in determination of mechanism of small molecule inhibition of viral infection. Carried out compound dose response assays in mammalian cells. Performed TCID50 assays for Measles and respiratory syncytial virus titering (using fluorescence, luminescence, or syncytia depending on the recombinant strain).

What they like about Georgia State University:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
