Job Description:
The Research department at Dimensional is integral both in the successful day-to-day functioning of the firm and in developing Dimensional's long-term strategy. The team produces high-quality, thought-leadership research on investments and financial markets that is of interest to clients. The team also leads the development of the firm's investment approach, the application of that approach through portfolio management and trading, and the implementation of technology solutions that make the investment process more efficient.

Interns will gain an understanding of what it's like to be a full-time Researcher at Dimensional, as they will be responsible for projects that meet our firm's current business needs. The internship length is flexible depending on your academic schedule and can be offered in our Austin, TX office.
