2019 Quantitative Finance Summer Program - Masters (New York)
The Quantitative Finance Summer Program is an intensive 10-week program that provides Summer Analysts the opportunity to work alongside full-time professionals on impactful, quantitative projects. Summer Analysts will work within an assigned Desk within Strats and Modeling. These teams are primarily embedded within the Firm's Sales & Trading organization and provide critical quantitative solutions for the businesses they support. The multi-faceted program features senior quant teach-in sessions, Sales and Trading speaker series, product area training, networking events, and community service. With individual coaching and continuous feedback, the program enables Summer Analysts to experience and understand what a long-term career with the Firm entails.
The Summer will kick off with a week-long introductory training program, alongside core Sales & Trading Summer Analysts. The training week provides context to the work that Summer Analysts will be doing through market-knowledge training, educational workshops, and basic product and technical training. Following the training week, Summer Analysts will continue to receive more individualized, on-the-job training as they join their assigned desks and begin their daily work and projects. Summer Analysts will have a direct manager, as well as a program mentor, both of whom will act as invaluable resources to the Analysts throughout their time at Morgan Stanley.
