The D. E. Shaw group, a highly successful investment and technology development firm, is looking for individuals with an extraordinary record of academic or professional achievement to help us recruit world-class talent in a variety of fields. Prior recruiting experience is not expected; this role involves no cold-calling or networking and is paid by salary rather than commission. We care far more about your raw ability than we do about your specific experience or knowledge of finance, and we welcome applicants from any field of study and with any level of degree (BA, BS, MA, MS, Ph.D.). Associates in our Strategic Growth department create and execute strategies to identify and attract impressive candidates for diverse positions throughout the firm. Candidates should have strong organizational and analytical skills, along with exceptional verbal acuity and command of detail. We offer high compensation, reasonable hours, and the chance to work with talented colleagues in an informal environment. To apply, send a resume and cover letter to PhDs-SGAssct@career.deshaw.com.

Members of the D. E. Shaw group do not discriminate in employment matters on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin, age, military service eligibility, veteran status, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, or any other protected class.
