Mayo Clinic seeks applicants for a post-baccalaureate research experience in empirical bioethics research, as part of Graduate Research Employment Program (GREP). Students will participate in educational activities and conduct bioethics research in a mentored environment.
GREP is designed for individuals who have completed a bachelor’s degree and plan to attend graduate school, law school or medical school. In addition to conducting bioethics research, GREP students are eligible to take graduate-level courses through the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and shadow clinicians in nearly every area of the clinic. This paid position is ideal for students interested in a “gap year” between their undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Following this program, past GREP students matriculated into top medical and laws schools throughout the U.S.
Students must have completed their bachelor’s degree before the position start date and must be pursuing medical/graduate school admission. Students must have authorization to work and remain in the United States, without necessity for Mayo Clinic sponsorship. All students must pass a background check and post-offer placement assessment prior to their start date.
Interested applicants should apply to job posting 163273BR: Bioethics Intern on the Mayo Clinic jobs website (https://jobs.mayoclinic.org/) by March 14, 2022. Candidates must attach the following documents to the online application:
- Cover letter describing your career goals and how biomedical ethics research relates to those goals
- Resume/CV that includes your major, relevant coursework, honors, and related experiences
- A 5-10 page writing sample (such as a course paper), preferably on a topic in biomedical ethics
- Current, unofficial college transcript
Two letters of recommendation from research mentors or undergraduate professors should be addressed to Dr. Richard Sharp, Director and emailed to bioethics@mayo.edu .
