If cancer research and a PhD are your career goals, begin this summer at Roswell Park Cancer Institute!
Are you a college junior contemplating a research career choice that includes graduate school? Then consider an internship that gives you a first-hand cancer research experience by working full-time on an independent project.
Your research experience will take place in the collaborative environment of a research laboratory. You will receive mentorship and insight into your desired future career by working alongside a research staff of graduate students, post-doctoral scholars and laboratory technicians. This core research experience will be forified by a curriculum of educational and career development activities. Through these activities you will engage in informal scientific exchange with faculty and students at an Roswell Park-wide science retreat; learn about current and cutting-edge topics in cancer at weekly seminars; share in your discoveries with intern peers through peer-mentorship cross-training; and explore the possibility of alternative science careers during field trips to life science companies.
You will conclude your research experience by presenting your project in the formal settings of both the program research conference and “Buffalo Research Day.” Here you will hone your scientific communication skills and compete for awarded “Best Talks.” Throughout the program you will have the opportunity to bond with peers who have the same interest in science by attending planned social activities.
