Program Structure

The research internship program is open to exceptional Graduate and Ph.D. students who are interested in working for our Life Science and Therapeutics teams. The program will commence in or around June 2021 for 10-12 weeks with conditional plans to work out of our New York City office.

The program will have two key components. The first is to gain hands-on experience and exposure to the fundamental company analysis that is critical to the day to day focus of the Research team. The second opportunity is to work on a specific project that could be a thematic project that will involve communicating a perspective on a specific sector of the universe or a deep dive on a disease area or company.

Exceptional candidates will be considered for potential full-time opportunities based on their internship performance.
