Four Major Universities Join Nation's Leading Postgrad Bio Jobs Board

Posted on: Tuesday, 12 May 2009, 10:00 CDT

SANTA CRUZ, Calif., May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Four prestigious universities have joined Bio Career Center, the nation's leading online jobs board and careers site for life science professionals.

UCLA, Brown, NYU and Georgetown are now members of the jobs board, joining 15 other major universities.

The jobs board, www.biocareercenter.com, is only for post-graduates in the life sciences. While there are hundreds of life science career sites on the Internet, Bio Career Center is the only one that serves life science post-graduates exclusively.

Bio Career Center's institution consortium consists of Stanford, Berkeley, Brown, Caltech, Emory, Georgetown, M.D. Anderson, Michigan State, New York University, Scripps Institute, University of California, Los Angeles, University of California at San Francisco, University of Colorado Denver, University of Miami, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, University of Pennsylvania, University of Washington, Vanderbilt and Weill Cornell.

Developed with the Stanford Medical School director of career services, www.biocareercenter.com is constructed for P.h.D.s, M.D.s and other post-graduates who are looking for efficient ways to manage their careers. From industry articles and assessment tools to relevant job postings, Bio Career Center is a comprehensive and free career resource center. Job seekers have access to opportunities including academia, biopharmaceutical and government as well as vertical markets like consulting, public health and science policy.

Bio Career Center organizes qualified candidates to save recruiters time and shorten the hiring process. The site has become an industry leader because it offers employers high-quality candidates with strong life sciences educational backgrounds. In fact, nearly half of Bio Career Center's candidates are alumni. Other job boards include applicants from a host of fields and education levels, requiring employers to sort through stacks of resumes that are not targeted to their needs.
