Fundamental Research Analyst

Fundamental Research Analyst

Our goal is to give you a real sense of what it's like to work at Jane Street full time. Over the course of your internship, you will explore ways to approach and solve exciting problems within your field of interest through fun and challenging classes, interactive sessions, and group discussions and then you will have the chance to put those lessons to practical use.

As an intern, you are paired with full-time employees who act as mentors, collaborating with you on real-world projects we actually need done. When you're not working on your project, you will have plenty of time to use our office amenities, physical and virtual educational resources, attend guest speakers and social events, and engage with the parts of our work that excite you the most.

If you've never thought about a career in finance, you're in good company. Many of us were in the same position before working here. If you have a curious mind, a collaborative spirit, and a passion for solving interesting problems, we have a feeling you'll fit right in.

As a Fundamental Analyst Intern, you'll join our Fundamental Research team to learn how we integrate traditional investment analysis with the firm's core quantitative strategies. Your diverse day-to-day work will help us discover new ways to expand our trading opportunities.

You'll work on live projects across asset classes that combine big-picture strategic thinking with detailed data analysis and documentation review. Your key responsibilities will include evaluating trade ideas involving fundamental catalysts and valuation insights, performing comprehensive due diligence, and conducting valuation analysis for primary and secondary equity offerings. Throughout this process, you'll coordinate closely with various internal stakeholders and groups to gather essential information and feedback.
