Shaw Exploration Fellowship 2017 * Hi Kerry, I hope you are well. I am writing to tell you about D. E. Shaw Exploration Fellowship 2017, a unique educational opportunity taking place at our New York City headquarters from July 19 to 20. I wanted to get in touch as I think students at Dartmouth may be interested in a program taking place at our firm, and we’d like to see if you could help us get the word out. As you may know, the D. E. Shaw group is a global investment and technology development firm with more than $41 billion in investment capital. Given that women are underrepresented in the global alternative investment industry, we have specifically designed a program in an effort to bring together talented and intellectually curious women enrolled in Ph.D. programs. They will receive an introduction to our firm, insights into our rigorous approach to finance, and several professional and social networking opportunities. By engaging with a cross section of people at the firm, from recent Ph.D. graduates to senior leaders, fellows will learn about the challenging problems on which we work, as well as the transition from academia to finance. They’ll also receive a $2,000 stipend, accommodations, and travel to and from New York City. If you have some students who may be interested in and available for this opportunity, there are two ways you can help. You can 1) nominate students via the website https://deshawexplorationfellowship.com/ and 2) spread the word to eligible students, organizations, and departments and encourage them to apply. We are accepting applications until May 19, 2017. Thank you in advance for your help! Please feel free to reach out directly with any questions.
