Research Opportunities

Discover a new path to conquering cancer

Whether it’s low-dose radiation or flipping off the ENPP1 switch as a new treatment approach, our researchers are always building on what the world knows about cancer. With your expertise and passion, you can help us advance science and change people’s lives.

Clinical Research

As a pathology data coordinator, research study assistant, specialist, or manager, you could contribute to research ranging from analyzing genetic changes in tumor samples to developing new imaging techniques.

Clinical Research Administration

Clinical Research Administration provides clinical research compliance and operations support for MSK. We are responsible for protocol activation, data management, quality assurance, and information technology.

Laboratory Research

As one of our research technicians or assistants, you'll work on bench research in one of 100+ laboratories.

Research Support

MSK has several opportunities to help drive our research efforts. From animal care technicians to analytical chemistry specialists to bioinformatics experts, this team contributes to innovative science and our mission to cure cancer.

Research & Technology Management

Research and Technology Management (RTM) focuses on three major components research funding and project administration, technology development, compliance review, systems.
• Research Funding & Project Administration handles the management of institutional and external research funds and funding proposals.
• Technology Development protects and licenses inventions developed by MSK investigators, obtaining industrial funding for our laboratories, and negotiating and reviewing private consulting agreements.
• Compliance Review and Oversight is charged with ensuring compliance with federal, state, institutional, and sponsor regulations regarding research grants management.
• The RTM systems team creates and manages several electronic systems that support various components of the MSK research enterprise.

Bioinformatics

The Bioinformatics team provides bioinformatics consultation, training, and resource development to Memorial Sloan Kettering investigators and supports the high-performance computing resources of the Computational Biology Center. Bioinformatics jobs include bioinformatics engineer, bioinformatics analyst or scientist, and Unix system administrator.
