Memorial Sloan Kettering is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We are a premier institution for oncology and part of one of the greatest concentrations of scientific and clinical expertise in the world, which includes Weill Cornell Medical College and The Rockefeller University.

Benefits and Housing

Our comprehensive benefits package (including healthcare plans) allows residents, their families, and significant others to enjoy a high quality of life.

Residents can find affordable, subsidized housing in a variety of locations and types. Many apartments are near our facilities (e.g., Roosevelt Island). Though housing is offered based on availability, every current resident who had requested housing received accommodations.

Apartment size is based on both availability and need, with preference for larger units given to residents who are married and/or have children.

During the interview process, you can request a tour of a typical unit.
