Memorial Sloan Kettering and Weill Cornell Medicine Engineering Summer Program (MWESP)

The Office of Science Education & Training (MSK) and Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM) are pleased to invite applications for the MSK/WCM Engineering Summer Program (MWESP). MWESP is designed to bring together undergraduate rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors interested in engineering and biomedicine for a summer research experience. Applicants must have a background in engineering, physical sciences, computational, or related fields. 

Students who are accepted to MWESP will: 

  • Adapt their engineering skills to address biomedically focused research questions in cutting-edge laboratories 
  • Interact with faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students 
  • Attend weekly luncheon/seminar series of presentations by faculty 
  • Attend professional development workshops 
  • Present a poster on their work at the end of the program 
  • Participants will be paid $6000 for the summer. Housing available.  

We strongly encourage students from groups historically underrepresented in science (disadvantaged, disabled, Black, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American) to apply.
