The Role
Primarily remote, this hybrid role may require occasional visits to our central London office or Bristol research lab.
Over 9 weeks, Valnt Summer Research Programme interns gain hands-on experience as Financial Researchers.
You will tackle a challenging research project involving intensive literature review, conceptual drafting, and statistical analysis.
Using scientific methods, rigorous statistical analysis, and pattern recognition, you will extract predictive signals from financial time series to forecast trends.
Throughout the internship, you will work closely with a dedicated supervisor, who will mentor you and provide structured feedback to refine your skills.
The program concludes with your research being published in our Institutional or Alpha+ suite—an exclusive service used by market leaders—earning you recognition in both academia and industry.
Who are we looking for?
A strong interest in corporate finance, econometrics, and statistics
Intermediate knowledge of econometric and statistical tools
You should be in the final year of an undergraduate or master’s program. We welcome applicants from all fields, though a background in Finance or Statistics is preferred. You may also include relevant academic projects with your application.
