Why Work With Us
Our determination and perseverance to transform biomedical research fosters a collaborative environment, allowing us access to some of the most educated and celebrated minds in academia, technology, pharma, biotechnology, diagnostics, genomics, and data analysis.
We bring outstanding thinkers from around the world to share genomic insights on health, history, culture, policy, and life’s diversity. Our employees – and the scientific community at large – have the opportunity to participate in these information-sharing and networking events. Check out our Events calendar for upcoming events.
At the New York Genome Center (NYGC), we don’t just accept difference — we celebrate it, encourage it, and thrive on it. Learn more about the NYGC’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which includes a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Group with employee members across all NYGC departments.
We believe in fostering a workplace of employee engagement. NYGC’s Culture Committee conducts a variety of “social hour”-type activities, from concerts to trivia contests. Our NYGC Cares Committee organizes volunteer and community outreach events throughout the year.
NYGC offers its employees a comprehensive benefits package, including:
- No Waiting Period for Heath/Dental/Vision Plan Coverage, with the NYGC paying the majority of the costs. You and eligible dependents and domestic partners receive these benefits on the first day of employment!
