I’m writing from campus recruiting at The Rockefeller University in NYC.  A representative from our Talent Acquisition staff will be on MIT’s campus (Career Advising & Professional Development) recruiting for Biomedical Research Assistant positions on Friday, February 7, 2020.

We hope that you can help to spread the word to graduating science majors at MIT.  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 a chance to further their curiosity about science to find out firsthand what research is all about.  Not to mention we have/had many MIT grads working and thriving on our campus, including Michelle We!  Please find a more detailed job description attached and below.

Applications must be made directly through MIT’s Center for Career Advising & Professional Development viaCareerBridgeLink<https://mit.joinhandshake.com/login> by 11:59 pm on Saturday, February 1, 2020.   This opportunity is open to current seniors at MIT.  Please help us by sharing this with your students and encouraging them to take advantage of this opportunity.

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
