My Job Duties
Office Assistant (Current Employee), Ames, IA – July 9, 2012
Pros: field trips to different parts of the states.
Cons: set hours of work
My typical day at work is taking pictures of students in the process of doing their research project. I also assist in daily activities. I work with assisting students in the Latin Center at Iowa State University. I have learned to make videos using IMovie. My co-workers are from all different parts of the world and we all bring something different – more... to the job. The most enjoyable part of my job is that I am able to meet new people and work in various environments. The hardest part of my job is being able to communicate with co-workers and the supervisor. – less

Creative and inspiring place with a lot of interesting people
Post-Doctoral Research Associate (Current Employee), Ames, IA – June 8, 2012
Pros: amazing campus
Cons: environment is a bit more relaxed than in industry, which can be both good and bad
I think this is one of the best places I have ever work during my life. One thing that makes it particularly attractive is people that work here. They come here with different background, bringing new knowledge and experience, not to mention culture. Environment is friendly and collaborative, which allows anyone to grow up professionally and personally. – more... You can learn a lot and very diverse things. – less

Great Enviornment
Research Assistant (Former Employee), Ames, IA – May 9, 2012
Pros: very flexible
Cons: sometimes too flexible
The graduate courses given are great with some really bright Professors. As for my work as an RA the professor I worked under was vary flexible and had me work on a variety of projects. I became very proficiency in data management and some statistical software. The hardest part was scheduling this work around the normal PhD course work.
