POSITION: Multiple Positions
ORGANIZATION: Multiple Organizations through the LifeSci NYC Internship Program

LifeSci NYC Internship Program has launched its 2021-22 online application. We have a number of fall internship opportunities, as well as full- and part-time jobs that are accepting applicants now. You may view them HERE.

Over the past four years, LifeSci NYC has placed over 425 students into paid internships (as well as entry level roles) at over 120 companies in NYC’s life sciences industry — from lab research roles to business development, software engineering, data science, and so much more.

Summer positions are just beginning to be posted, and we anticipate having more and more of those in the coming months. While specific summer internship listings will be shared only with those who complete our full summer application, I do want to call your attention to one time-sensitive opportunity to which students may apply now:

Deerfield is accepting applications for Summer Fellows. This program, designed to attract students from underrepresented populations with interest in pursuing healthcare or finance fields, trains students to serve as Healthcare Finance Analysts. No prior experience is required. It is open to students attending school in NYC with a projected graduation date by Spring or Summer 2023. This is a highly paid internship, with potential for continued employment through the following school year, and on a permanent basis thereafter. Interested students must apply by October 31, and should begin by completing our summer application.

For students who wish to more quickly apply for fall and other more immediate opportunities, our platform offers the option of completing an abbreviated application that requires only academic information and a resume upload. In addition to current undergraduate and graduate students, our application is also open to those who graduated in spring 2020 or later. This option may particularly appeal to this population.

POSITION: Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience
ORGANIZATION: Center for Science and Society at Columbia University

The Presidential Scholars in Society and Neuroscience (PSSN) program at Columbia University invites applications for interdisciplinary postdoctoral positions to begin on July 1, 2022. Selected applicants will join our existing Presidential Scholars and a large group of mentors and affiliated faculty from the arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.

PSSN is an innovative program pioneering interdisciplinary research between neuroscience and the arts, social sciences, and humanities. Each Scholar in this highly selective program has proposed a novel cross-disciplinary research project at the intersection of neuroscience and at least one other field, which they will conduct over the course of the three-year fellowship. Presidential Scholars join a vibrant community of postdoctoral researchers and faculty mentors and affiliates from across Columbia University. 

For this application season, PSSN recognizes that there is a growing need for Presidential Scholars who have experience examining questions about diversity, equity, inclusion, anti-racism, and decolonization broadly defined. The future of science depends on scholars who can foster new collaborations among neuroscientists and other discipline experts, practitioners, and policymakers around these compelling and urgent societal issues that connect to mind, brain, behavior, and mental health. Priority will be given to applications that align with the goal of supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the program. This can be considered in three overarching ways:

  • Applications include current research and/or research proposals that involve empirical research, the collection of data, or the study of history, evidence, or policy aimed to better understand or combat racism, bias, and inequality, or that are designed to benefit marginalized groups in the U.S. or abroad;
  • Applicants may come from communities which are historically underrepresented or marginalized in neuroscience or in the field or discipline in which they specialize; 
  • Applicants have demonstrated commitment and contributions towards promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion at their current institutions or within their community.

Candidates must hold a doctoral-level degree (PhD, EdD, JD, MD, etc.) in any field by July 1, 2022, and must have received this degree after July 1, 2017. For more information and application instructions please visit the PSSN website. Applications must be submitted by Monday, December 13, 2021, to be included in the first round of reviews.

POSITION: AIDS Prevention Studies Fellowships
ORGANIZATION: UCSF Department of Medicine

The Traineeships in AIDS Prevention Studies (TAPS) program trains scientists for academic and public health careers. We invite applications for two- and three-year postdoctoral fellowships in studies relating to the prevention of AIDS. Offered through the UCSF Department of Medicine, TAPS is located at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies (CAPS), which is itself part of the Division of Prevention Science within the Department of Medicine. Candidates must hold a PhD, MD, or equivalent doctorate degree. The program is suitable for those who are currently completing their doctoral, residency, or clinical fellowship programs as well as for those who have recently completed their doctoral degrees and seek careers as independent researchers. CAPS, with its unique combination of institutional resources and access to groundbreaking and state-of-the-art HIV research and researchers of world renown across numerous disciplines, provides an excellent environment for postdoctoral training. More than 80 AIDS-related research projects now being implemented by CAPS investigators will provide a wide variety of opportunities for participation by TAPS fellows. To accomplish its goal, CAPS offers fellows supplementary academic preparation in research methods, public health, AIDS, and other specific learning objectives and gives closely supervised experiences in AIDS prevention research. Fellows who already have a master of public health (MPH) degree or its equivalent may complete the program in two years; those who do not will be required to complete the MPH degree at UC Berkeley in the first year, followed by two years of research training. At the end of the training program each fellow will have accomplished the following:

  • Completed an MPH degree or equivalent;
  • Taken advanced courses in research methods, statistics, and other topics relevant to the fellow’s major fields of interest;
  • Participated in and led numerous seminars on research topics within CAPS and in the formal teaching programs of the university;
  • Designed several research protocols and completed at least one significant research project under the direction of a faculty mentor;
  • Made presentations at national or international meetings;
  • Submitted several papers for publication; and
  • Prepared at least one research grant proposal for submission.

All recipients of NIH research fellowships must sign an agreement with the NIH that they will fulfill a “service payback” commitment in return for their postdoctoral support. Under the provisions of this commitment, postdoctoral fellows in the first 12 months of their training program will incur an obligation which can be satisfied by an additional 12 months of NIH-supported research training or an equal number of months of health-related research or teaching. Individuals completing two years of postdoctoral support have no further service obligations stemming from postdoctoral support. Trainees who complete less than two years of training may be liable for a financial payback obligation for part or all NIH-funded training.

POSITION: ORISE Fellowship with EPA’s Children’s Environmental Health Program
ORGANIZATION: Environmental Protection Association

The mission of EPA is to protect human health and the environment. EPA’s children’s health-protection efforts are guided by Executive Order 13045, “Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks” and “EPA’s Policy on Evaluating Risk to Children.” OCHP has the fundamental goal to ensure that all EPA actions and programs address the unique vulnerabilities of children. RSSPD’s work addresses the potential for exposures, hazards, health effects, and health risks after early life exposures (i.e., during gestation/pregnancy, childhood, reproductive years) during agency’s development of actions, regulations, assessments, methods, and policies. For more information, see: https://www.epa.gov/aboutepa/about-office-childrens-health-protection-ochp and https://www.epa.gov/children.

The research at RSSPD is “secondary research,” in other words performs systematic literature searches and reviews. OCHP does not conduct laboratory research. 

This project provides an opportunity for the participant to contribute to OCHP efforts by applying science (e.g., review of the scientific literature) to inform children’s health impacts of EPA regulations and risk assessment. Further, the project provides training in current and emerging children’s environmental health issues and an opportunity to develop projects to contribute to the resolution of one or more of these issues. The participant may be involved in the following training activities:

  • Providing critical review of CEH, including potential exposures and health effects, in agency actions such as risk assessment and rulemaking as part of a team
  • Conducting literature reviews, conducting analyses/synthesis of data, and preparing scientific text and other materials for EPA reports, scientific journal articles, or other publications related to CEH
  • Researching and analyzing children’s environmental, health and biomonitoring indicator data
  • Attending and presenting at scientific conferences related to CEH
  • Developing one or more individual projects to address an emerging or current CEH issue based on professional training and interest

The participant will have access to a team of experts collaborating within the agency and across the government, as well as with outside experts and stakeholders, on issues related to children’s environmental health. OCHP will review all completed research products for adherence to principles and policies, quality, and soundness of scientific conclusions.

Eligibility Requirements

  • U.S. Citizen Only
  • Master’s Degree or Doctoral Degree received within the last 60 months or anticipated to be received by 2/28/2022.

For more information and to apply: https://www.zintellect.com/Opportunity/Details/EPA-OA-OCHP-2022-01

Please contact Rebecca Dzubow (dzubow.rebecca@epa.gov) if you have any questions.
