Summary of Job Duties:
The Fellow will lead the investing internship program and will focus on:
1. Introducing the investment industry, including family and non-profit investment offices, asset managers, bank custodians and the consulting industry.
2. Developing investment knowledge and basic skills (finance, business, economics, Excel).
3. Enhancing presentation skills (Powerpoint and speaking to a large audience).
4. Fostering a network of industry contacts.
The internship program is ten weeks, including one week of remote reading, three weeks in Bentonville, Arkansas and six weeks in Washington, DC, and includes a one-week trip to Chicago. Students participating in the program will be between their Sophomore and Junior year.
To achieve the Internship Program goals, the Fellow will provide a combination of traditional investment-focused lectures, supplemented by WIT investment professionals, presentations from external portfolio managers, career development opportunities and an investment project that will culminate in a presentation at the end of the internship.
This is essentially a full-time summer teaching position embedded in a large investment office. This requires some preparation prior to the program’s start. Compensation is $30,000, plus airfare and housing in Bentonville and Washington, DC. The Fellow will serve as an independent contractor of UAPB.
Qualifications:
- Degree in economics, finance, investments or business.
- Experience teaching investments, economics or finance, ideally at the college level. This includes current college instructors or industry professionals with prior teaching experience. Graduate students focusing in these areas are also encouraged to apply.
- Experience designing and leading a new teaching course. This is a new addition to the internship program, presenting an opportunity to shape the internship program. There is no established path to follow. The ideal candidate would find these features appealing.
- A strong desire to mentor college students. We expect this program to be transformational for the interns, so a strong mentor would excel in this role.
- Desire to collaborate with experienced investment professionals at WIT, other investment firms, banks and other institutions. Successful integration of industry expertise into this program is a must.
- Practical investment industry experience and a network of industry contacts are a plus.
- The internship program is June 6 – August 12. We can be flexible on the dates and length for the Fellowship if your schedule requirements differ from the internship dates.
