We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as an Intern Research.

In this role, the successful candidate The NYU Langone Health Brooklyn STEPPS (Scientific and Technical Education Pipeline Program for Students) initiative is designed to increase the diversity of the clinical research workforce. By the end of the program, participants will have the skills to function independently as a research assistant and/or experience to support graduate-level applications. We are seeking undergraduate students from underrepresented in medicine (URiM) backgrounds in Brooklyn who are interested in pursuing careers in clinical research focused on addressing health disparities.

This year-long internship program offers a unique opportunity for students to gain first-hand experience in clinical research with faculty at NYU Langone Heath in a wide variety of fields. This program begins in August with a 3-week, full-time summer intensive training that includes in-person lectures about clinical research topics and hands-on practice and is followed by internship placement in an active clinical research group at NYU during the academic year.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in a scholarly project and be an integral part of the research team. Finally, students will have ongoing didactics and mentorship. Participants will receive compensation of $20 per hour for the duration of their internship. Interns are expected to devote at least 10 hours a week during the academic year to their assigned research groups.

No previous clinical research experience is required.

What is clinical research, and might it be right for me Clinical research is the study of health and illness in people. It often occurs in medical settings with patient populations but can also occur in community settings. It is the way we learn how to prevent, diagnose and treat illness. It involves human participants and helps translate basic research (usually done in wet labs or tightly controlled experimental settings) into new treatments and information to benefit patients.

Clinical trials as well as research in epidemiology, physiology and pathophysiology, health services, education, patient experience, and mental health (among other areas of inquiry) can all fall under the clinical research umbrella. People involved in clinical research come from a variety of educational backgrounds including those in scientific fields, the humanities, social sciences, and many others.
