The Sandra and Edward Meyer Cancer Center is offering summer internship opportunities to high school and undergraduate students interested in exploring exciting cancer research questions. Students will immerse themselves in the fundamental principles of scientific investigation, get hands-on experience in laboratory techniques, or perform dry-lab research under the mentorship of our basic science and clinical research faculty. Our goal is to educate and inspire students at an early-stage to pursue future careers in cancer research.
The Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences, a joint program between the Sloan-Kettering Institute and Weill Cornell Medical College, offers a unique and diverse learning environment. It offers seven Ph.D. and four MS programs, taught and mentored by a cadre of more than 250 faculty members committed to training the next generation of basic and translational investigators. The program provides opportunities for collaboration with Meyer Cancer Center researchers, enabling students to contribute to advances in the treatment of human disease.
Weill Cornell Medical College offers a comprehensive medical education that integrates foundational sciences and clinical activities. Its curriculum is centered on three themes -- The Scientific Basis of Medicine, Patient Care, and Physicianship – and features opportunities for mentored research in basic sciences, clinical and translational medicine, and international health. These include collaborations with Meyer Cancer Center faculty as part of extramural and intramural programs, such as the Areas of Concentration experiential learning module.
Weill Cornell has more than 300 postdoctoral associates and fellows, who are a vital part of its biomedical research community. Those interested in pursuing postdoctoral training at Weill Cornell are advised to contact individual faculty members in whose research they are aligned.
