Internship, job, and post-graduation opportunities

Occasionally, the Department of Biological Sciences hears of exciting opportunities for internships, jobs, research, or graduate school. We occasionally post them on our myUMBC page to keep students informed.

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Broad Summer Research Program (BSRP) - broad.io/bsrp
 
The Broad Summer Research Program (BSRP) offers students with a demonstrated commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM disciplines the opportunity to conduct intensive research in a collaborative community. 
 
BSRP participants spend the summer performing original computational or experimental-based research in labs across the Broad Institute’s research areas, from cancer to infectious disease to computational biology. In addition, the program features a rich curriculum outside the lab that emphasizes career development, personal development, and teamwork in a small cohort. 
 
Deadline: January 11, 2021

Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Broad Biomedical Postbaccalaureate Scholars Program - broad.io/bbps
 
An innovative, two-year program, BBPS offers participants a comprehensive, structured and immersive experience that includes groundbreaking research and academic and career guidance. BBPS participants will carry out research as paid, full-time Associate Computational Biologists or Research Associates, working alongside leading scientists within the Broad Institute.
 
Eligibility - seniors or recent graduates who majored in the biological, physical or computer sciences, engineering or mathematics, and are interested in pursuing a graduate degree (M.S., Ph.D., M.D./Ph.D.) 
 
Deadline: January 18, 2021

Virginia Commonwealth University

The Biomedical Sciences Doctoral Portal (BSDP) at Virginia Commonwealth University is hosting a virtual open house on Tuesday, December 1st from 4:00 – 6:00 PM EST. The BSDP oversees admissions for and recruits students into six Ph.D. programs within the School of Medicine. During the open house, Dr. Roxann Roberson-Nay, Assistant Dean for Graduate Recruitment and Admissions, will introduce the BSDP; the six Program Directors will provide information about their programs; you will have the opportunity to engage with students from each of the six programs in separate breakout rooms; and there will be plenty of time for questions. You can register here or through the attached flier.
