Dear University Partners,

Thank you for spreading the word to students about the LifeSci NYC Internship Program. We have received many strong applications thus far. The application remains open through March 31 but we are encouraging students to apply ASAP, as we are placing students on a rolling basis.

Now that we have begun matching high scoring students with host companies, we have identified several  types of candidates that are in particular demand by host companies. Any help you could provide in encouraging such students to apply would be greatly appreciated.

Our greatest need at present is for students who are interested in business roles. Life sciences (and related) students are excellent candidates for these opportunities, but in many cases, business students without life sciences experience are great candidates too. It is important, however, that such students express an interest in applying their skills within the life sciences field when they write their applications.  Many of these employers also stress the need for excellent communication skills.

Following are some more specific needs:

  • Students interested in business – especially among students who have lab and/or industry experience. Students should be sure to indicate in their personal statement that they are interested in serving in a business role.
  • Juniors and Seniors with art or design skills (encourage students to express interest in using their skills in the life sciences field)
  • Students in PhD or postdoc programs in Drug Delivery, Biotech, Biochemistry, Biomaterials, Materials Science, Polymer Chemistry, Rheology, or Chemical Engineering; requires lab experience and/or genetic engineering expertise. Medical students and/or those with ophthalmology training are also great candidates.
  • Masters and PhD students interested in business roles in the life sciences: In many cases, there is no requirement for a major in biology, the life sciences or a related field. However, applicants with expertise in medicine, digital health, data science, consulting, finance and/or advocacy are encouraged.
  • Masters or doctoral students with expertise in immuno-oncology – note that this opportunity requires students who could travel to Pearl River, NY (which is in Rockland County)
  • Undergraduates, ideally in biomedical engineering, who could travel to Pearl River, NY

As a reminder, our student application is available at:

We will be sure to reach out again should we have additional recruiting needs to share. Thanks again for all your help.

 

Best regards,

Sharon
