[bioundgrd] Rockefeller recruiting

[Rachel McPherson]

To Whom It May Concern,

I'm writing from Human Resources at The 
Rockefeller University in New York City.  A 
representative from our employment staff will be 
on MIT's campus recruiting for Biomedical 
Research Assistant positions (see attached) on 
Tuesday, March 14th.  Our hope is that you could 
help spread the word to graduating science 
majors.  This is an excellent opportunity for 
those interested in taking 1-2 years off before 
attending medical and graduate programs.  As a 
Research Assistant these students will be given 
the chance to further their curiosity about 
science to find out first hand what research is 
all about.
Interested students should apply directly to 
MIT's Career Development Office (via MonsterTrak) 
by February 28, 2006. 
I thank you ahead of time for your help in our 
recruiting efforts. If you have any questions, 
please do not hesitate to contact me!
Sincerely,
Kara

RESEARCH ASSISTANT POSITIONS


What is The Rockefeller University?
The Rockefeller University is a world-renowned 
center for scientific research and graduate 
education in the biomedical sciences, chemistry, 
and physics.  Founded by John D. Rockefeller, Sr. 
in 1901 as the nation's first institute for 
medical research, the University has a unique 
laboratory-based structure that encourages 
interdisciplinary research, the force that drives 
scientific achievement today.  This innovative, 
collaborative approach has been an unparalleled 
success, contributing to 21 Nobel 
Prizes-including Rod MacKinnon's 2003 Nobel in 
Chemistry.   

The University is made up of 75 independent 
laboratories that are free to interact in any and 
all directions.  Scientifically, our programs are 
devoted mainly to basic scientific investigation, 
as the motto on our seal states, "for the benefit 
of humankind."  The Rockefeller community 
consists of 700 faculty, research scientists, 
and postdoctoral fellows, 140 Ph.D. and 
M.D.-Ph.D. students, and 850 administrative and 
support staff members.  Our campus is located on 
14 park-like acres on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Position Description!
The Rockefeller University seeks Research 
Assistants to work in one of our 75 laboratories. 
Qualified individuals will provide support to the 
laboratory in the completion of assigned 
experiments and (depending on the lab) assist in 
molecular biological, biochemical, immunological, 
genetic, neuroscience, and/or cell biological 
experiments.  A team-oriented approach is used to 
conduct basic and human disease related research. 

Why work at The Rockefeller University?
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals 
interested in eventual graduate/medical school or 
a long-term commitment to research.  We offer an 
excellent salary, a comprehensive benefits 
package, and tuition reimbursement.
Minimum requirements include a Bachelor's degree 
in the life sciences, some previous laboratory 
experience, knowledge of basic laboratory 
techniques, computer familiarity, motivation, and 
the ability to work independently.  A TWO year
