Bio Career Center

 

Santa Cruz, Calif. – July 21, 2008 – Building on its reputation as an online job board and careers tool site for life-science professionals leader, Bio Career Center (www.biocareercenter.com) has partnered with three new schools, rounding out an already elite consortium of higher education institutions.

 

This month, Weill Cornell Medical College, the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and the University of Miami joined the site, which features a jobs board that gathers the life-sciences postgraduate and clinical communities of each member school into one place.

 

“We are excited about partnering with three top East Coast schools deeply concerned about the careers of their life scientists,” said Nick Folger, president of Bio Career Center.

 

Bio Career Center also works with the University of California, Berkeley; Caltech; Emory; Scripps Institute; Stanford; University of California, San Francisco; University of Colorado, Denver; University of Miami; University of Pennsylvania; Vanderbilt; and the University of Washington.

 

Since January, Bio Career Center has expanded its service each month, offering new and unique tools to assist those entering and currently in life science fields. Its successful additions include: the Expert Seminar Program – a dual-purpose service that provides employers a chance to meet potential candidates, and vice versa, while giving M.D’s and Ph.D’s the opportunity to perfect their networking, interviewing, business etiquette skills; Career Navigator - a proven online tool designed to help those in the life science sector transition within their field with success; and Bio Skills Select – a multiple-choice question and answer tool, which assists employers and candidates in the job match process.

 

“By adding these components, we are providing member schools and life science professionals a chance to reach their career goals,” Folger said. “During the upcoming months, we will continue offering the best services to all our members and partners.”

 

Bio Career Center features a jobs board that gathers the life sciences postgraduate and clinical communities of all member schools into one place, a staff that liaises with employers, and deep and rich content that focuses on the many career options for life sciences Ph.D.'s and M.D.'s.  Bio Career Center can be accessed via member (university) Web sites or at www.BioCareerCenter.com. The service is free to students and alumni of member institutions.
