Entry Level Research Fellow Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level research fellow job?
Focus on research experience you already have: undergraduate thesis work, lab rotations, internships, or independent projects. Employers hiring at this level prioritize demonstrated ability to collect data, analyze results, and communicate findings clearly. A writing sample or brief portfolio of research outputs strengthens an application significantly. Tailor your resume to match the specific methodology or subject area each posting emphasizes.
Which companies hire entry level research fellows?
Companies hiring entry level research fellows right now include The University of Michigan, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and UTHealth Houston, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a broad mix of universities, research institutes, healthcare systems, government agencies, and private sector organizations running active research programs.
Are there remote entry level research fellow jobs?
Yes, though many research fellow roles require on-site access to labs, clinics, or institutional resources. About 27% of entry level research fellow openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, and these tend to cluster in data-focused or policy research roles where the work is primarily analytical rather than laboratory-based.
Are these new grad research fellow jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad and junior positions that explicitly welcome recent graduates and candidates with limited professional experience. A new grad-friendly research fellow posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or graduate-level coursework, and values a research portfolio or writing sample over a lengthy work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level research fellows?
Entry Level research fellow roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive junior research hiring because they run ongoing studies, clinical trials, or policy analyses that depend on a steady pipeline of early-career researchers to support senior investigators.
