The posting

Job Title: Equity Research Associate – Oncology

Reports to: Sr. Equity Research Analyst

Department: Equity Research

Location: New York

Salary Range: $110,000-$170,000

Role Summary

The candidate will join a growing oncology research team focused on cancer therapeutics and emerging treatment modalities. The role centers on publicly traded oncology biotechnology companies, with awareness of relevant private companies and broader competitive, scientific, and strategic developments. Responsibilities include evaluating scientific, clinical, commercial, and financial factors that influence investment outcomes, while collaborating with physicians, scientists, management teams, and institutional investors.

Responsibilities

  • Analyze preclinical, translational, and clinical oncology datasets
  • Build and maintain financial models and valuation frameworks
  • Support investment recommendations and research reports
  • Monitor clinical trials, publications, patents, regulatory updates, and competitive landscapes
  • Track earnings, conferences, data presentations, and strategic developments across biotech and pharmaceutical companies
  • Attend scientific and medical conferences
  • Engage with physicians, key opinion leaders, management teams, and industry experts
  • Maintain accurate records and follow-ups from company and investor interactions
  • Respond quickly to clinical, regulatory, scientific, and corporate developments

Qualifications

We seek candidates with meaningful sell side equity research or similar experience who understand how organizations operate and execute in real-world environments. Purely academic backgrounds without corporate exposure are unlikely to be a fit.

Relevant experience may include:

  • Biotechnology or pharmaceutical equity research
  • Buyside roles primarily focused on investing in biotechnology or pharmaceutical stocks at recognized institutions, hedge funds or VCs
  • Healthcare/life sciences consulting
  • Biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry roles, including business development, corporate strategy, or experience contributing to commercial corporate initiatives
  • Biotechnology or pharmaceutical investment banking

Preferred qualifications include:

  • Strong understanding of oncology, drug development, and clinical trial design, with the ability to evaluate scientific and medical literature
  • Strong analytical, quantitative, and financial modeling skills, including experience working with complex datasets
  • Proficiency in Excel; familiarity with statistics, Python, or other analytical tools is a plus
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Who Thrives on This Team

The strongest candidates:

  • Are intellectually curious and seek to understand how things work
  • Have a strong work ethic and drive to succeed
  • Take ownership and solve problems independently
  • Move quickly without sacrificing quality
  • Communicate proactively and respond promptly
  • Reduce others’ workload rather than add to it
  • Seek feedback and stay aligned on priorities
  • Work effectively as part of a team
  • Approach all tasks with a team-first mindset
  • Generate well-supported conclusions from complex information
  • Consistently improve team effectiveness

What Success Looks Like

Successful associates anticipate needs, identify key developments early, execute reliably, and elevate team performance. They work independently, exercise sound judgment, and stay aligned with team priorities.

Equal Employment Opportunity:

Leerink Partners is an equal opportunity employer and is dedicated to expanding its commitments and investments to create a more diverse, equitable and inclusive company culture and innovation ecosystem. We are strongly committed to the values and policy of equal employment opportunity across our employment practices.

Actual starting base pay will be determined on skills, experience, and other non-discriminatory factors permitted by law. Total compensation may also include variable incentives, bonuses, benefits, and/or other perks, as outlined in any formal offer made.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
