Bernstein has a best-in-class Research Associate program; our Associate alumni are numerous across the investment management industry and within the ranks of our highly-rated Senior Analysts. We are looking for highly motivated college juniors and Master’s students to join our premier Equity Research platform for a 10-week internship program in our New York office.

You will be assigned to a sector team (such as US Food, Internet, Banks, etc.) and work closely with a Senior Analyst and other Associates who will mentor and develop you.

We have an outstanding Associate program and make a strong commitment to development. Summer Interns often join us for full-time Associate roles after graduation, and full-time Research Associates often advance to Senior Research Associate positions and/or go on to graduate school. These are typically 3-5 year positions with outstanding growth potential within Bernstein.
Our culture is intellectually rigorous, but it is also very collegial and fun. We have robust learning and development programs, and Associate-led cultural initiatives, ranging from health & wellness, community service, mentoring, employee resource groups, and social events.
