About the role

AQR Capital Management

AQR is a global investment firm built at the intersection of financial theory and practical application. We strive to deliver concrete, long-term results by looking past market noise to identify and isolate the factors that matter most, and by developing ideas that stand up to rigorous testing. By putting theory into practice, we have become a leader in alternative strategies and an innovator in traditional portfolio management since 1998.

At AQR, our employees share a common spirit of academic excellence, intellectual honesty and an unwavering commitment to seeking the truth. We’re determined to know what makes financial markets tick – and we’ll ask every question and challenge every assumption. We recognize and respect the power of collaboration and believe transparency and openness to new ideas leads to innovation.

The Internship Program

Our 10-week summer program puts real work of the firm in your hands. You will work alongside brilliant people, gain insights and know-how from our Quanta Academy Summer Term curriculum, and experience what it’s like to work at the pinnacle of global, systematic investing.

Learning is the cornerstone of our culture and plays an active role in the internship experience — through daily collaboration and interaction with employees at all levels, in workshops and classes, and most significantly by working on projects that matter to the many clients we serve. Our unique AQR Quanta Academy: Summer Term learning series, a structured program, consists of over 40 hours of educational, skill-building and networking events.

Your Role

Are you an intelligent and creative thinker? Do you enjoy finding elegant technical solutions to complex problems? Are you interested in seeing an impact of your work in real life? We are looking for innovative and passionate undergraduates to join our engineering teams as summer analysts. Candidates may be interviewed for one of several teams.

As a Summer Analyst, you will work on meaningful projects that support a wide range of business and investment functions across the firm. You will collaborate closely with engineers, researchers, and business stakeholders to design, develop, test, and deploy solutions in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
