We are excited to offer an opportunity for a diverse group of talented 2nd and 3rd-year PhD students to join the 2025 Schonfeld Early Engagement (SEE) Summit – PhD Datathon. This two-day interactive event will show you how to apply your academic skills to the real world of finance.
The program will take place on Thursday, April 3, and Friday, April 4, 2025, in New York City. Travel and lodging expenses will be covered for students traveling from outside NYC.
At the SEE Summit, you will have the chance to participate in an interactive datathon using real-world datasets. You will work alongside your peers and Schonfeld portfolio managers/researchers for a chance to win a cash prize for your research and gain early eligibility in our recruitment process.
Throughout the event, you will gain valuable insights by engaging with senior leaders, networking with other graduates, and immersing yourself in the culture and atmosphere of Schonfeld.
After attending the SEE Summit, you will have acquired valuable knowledge about our business, built lasting relationships, and felt prepared to apply for our summer internships—all while experiencing the welcoming community at Schonfeld.
What you need:
- To be pursuing your PhD degree in a STEM field (ideally with 2 years left in your academic program)
- Programming knowledge in Python
- While finance knowledge is a plus, it is not required to apply
[Accepting applications through February 21]
