We are looking for highly motivated penultimate-year (third-year) students for an 8 to 10-week internship program in our Hong Kong office. If you love research, Bernstein could be a great fit for you. Our interns learn about and contribute to the research we are known for: thematic, industrial strength, collaborative, data-driven, bottom up, and always differentiated. You will be assigned to a sector team (such as Asia Industrials, China Consumer, Japan Semiconductor, etc.) and work closely with a Senior Research Analyst and other Research Associates who will mentor and develop you. As a Research Associate Intern you will:
Learn in-depth analysis of your assigned sector, companies, and stocks by working with your team through a quarterly earnings cycle
Build expertise in your assigned sector and companies by working with a seasoned industry expert and other Associates
Complete a comprehensive project and deliver a presentation to senior management
Attend Bernstein Summer School learning and development programs
Interact with peers in research, sales, and trading through a variety of networking and social activities

We pride ourselves on our best-in-class Research Associate program. We make a strong commitment to continuous learning and development. Interns with good performance often join us for full-time Research Associate roles after graduation, and advance to Senior Research Associate positions and/or pivot to asset management firms. These are typically 3-5 year positions with outstanding growth potential within Bernstein.
Our culture is intellectually rigorous, but it is also very collaborative 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. Full-time associates receive competitive compensation offerings. Other offerings include:
A holistic employee benefit package to support you and your family’s health and wellness
