"experience sharing"

What do you like about working at University of Nebraska?

"I liked the work I did there and I liked the place, the apartment I had and the opportunities to have fun."

What don't you like about working at University of Nebraska?

"During the last six months I did not get a long with my boss, She gave me extension of additional six months and did not want to give me additional extension but from the other hand it was very important for her that I will complete all the tasks she wanted me to do, so she pushed me very hard and I had to spend a lot of time in the lab (until very late hours)and it was not enough for her."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Try as much as you can to find postdoctoral opportunity with experienced researcher, who has established lab and established fundings, Never take over risky projects, because there might be a case where your future success depends on whether the theory that you have to prove is right or wrong and it might be wrong and than you are in troubles. I think that the key for success is to make your boss like you. If he doesn't like you no matter what you do you don't have any chance and if he likes you no matter what you do, he will do everything to keep you and to make you succeed."

Student Researcher

"It was a wonderful experience in introductory microbiology work."

What do you like about working at University of Nebraska?

"I enjoyed the autonomy afforded to me. I did not have a set schedule but was trusted enough by my PI to know when I had work to do & was always trusted to perform my test runs on time."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"I would say to be honest. If you are willing to put in the hours to complete a test run, let the Prof. you are interviewing with know that. It is quite a bit of work, and more waiting, but it is worth it to see your results go toward a published paper!"

What don't you like about working at University of Nebraska?

"I was limited in the number of hours I could work per week, which crimped some of my progress. I could come in after-hours and work, which I did, but was not compensated for some of my hours. I also did not like that we had to move our lab equipment due to renovations being completed on one of the buildings. Due to this, one of my projects was delayed."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Take off the hour restrictions on student research. Also, I would like to have had a better study to base my research on (we were not sure if some of the results were fabricated). Everything else was amazing!"
