Memorial Sloan-Kettering – US – “Memorial Hospital”

Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) is the world's oldest and largest private institution devoted to the prevention, treatment, and cure of cancer. Founded in 1884, Memorial Sloan-Kettering has long been a leader in early detection, precise diagnosis, and individually tailored treatments for cancer.

At MSKCC, you are part of a team with a purpose. Opportunities exist to work with and learn from others throughout the organization. We recognize and support employees' efforts to expand their knowledge, improve their skills, and assume added responsibility.

We fulfill our mission -- the progressive control and cure of cancer through programs of patient care, research, and education -- by facilitating collaborations among scientists and clinical specialists, enabling new discoveries and the development of new treatments.

Regardless of where you work at MSKCC, your skills will contribute to the fulfillment of our mission. The greatest reward comes from knowing that you have a role in the advances we are making — together — toward the control and cure of cancer.

Flexible Benefits

Memorial Sloan-Kettering's FlexNow Program recognizes that as life changes, so do the benefit needs of our employees. At Memorial Sloan-Kettering, employees are able to choose the plans that best fit their needs. Flexible benefits include:

All Memorial Sloan-Kettering employees are provided with core long-term disability coverage paid for by Memorial Sloan-Kettering. However, employees may purchase additional long-term disability coverage under two supplemental plans.

Optional flexible spending accounts allow employees to set aside a portion of their salary to pay for eligible health and dental expenses not covered by insurance plans, as well as IRS-approved dependent care expenses (such as day care or preschool tuition).

Holidays, Vacations

In addition to 12 paid holidays every year, employees are eligible for vacation time based on their job classification and length of service.

Sick leave allows employees to receive their regular salary for a period of time if an illness or injury prevents them from working.

Commuter Spending Account Program
