Opportunity

Sponsored by: D. E. Shaw Group

The D. E. Shaw Nexus Fellowship offers rising college juniors a unique educational opportunity over three days at the firm’s New York City headquarters. The fellowship will include an introduction to the firm, insights into the intersection of finance and technology, and several professional and social networking opportunities. Fellows will also receive a $1,500 stipend, accommodations, and travel to and from New York City.

Fellows will participate in a content-driven curriculum of interactive case studies and seminars led by notable speakers and the firm’s own analysts. Additionally, fellows will interact with senior leaders of the firm and discuss career paths in finance with recent hires and long-tenured employees. There will also be opportunities to socialize with employees and other fellows during lunch and learns and excursions in New York City.

Eligibility

Intellectually curious students (Class of 2021) from all disciplines with a strong academic record, a demonstrated history of achievement, and a keen interest in exploring the intersection of finance and technology should apply. In order to be nominated, potential fellows must be rising juniors (i.e., students who expect to be enrolled in their penultimate year of study at a full-time undergraduate program at a U.S. college or university during the fall of 2019).
