Who can apply?
- The 2027 posting seeks candidates graduating in December 2027 or Spring 2028; it accepts people pursuing either a bachelor's or master's degree and does not translate that window into a universal college year.
- Candidates should study a quantitative field such as Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Mathematics or Engineering and want to work in financial services.
- Programming is required and Python is preferred. AQR also lists strong quantitative problem solving, intellectual curiosity, communication, organization, attention to detail and comfort in a collaborative environment.
AQR's broad internship page describes a usual summer application window, but it is not a deadline for this specific posting. Use the live 2027 role for availability and do not infer pay or an application cutoff it does not publish.
Dates, pay & program timing
AQR's current posting labels this a 2027 role and displayed an application at review. The internship lasts 10 weeks; AQR's Greenwich program page says its summer program begins in the first week of June and runs through mid-August. That page describes a usual June 30-to-mid-August application window, but the live role publishes no deadline, so its current application is the authority.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
The role may involve studying financial markets, analyzing data, developing or improving systematic strategies and portfolio construction. Take one past analysis and rewrite it as a research memo: hypothesis, dataset, cleaning decisions, test design, result, transaction or implementation concern and the next robustness check.
AQR requires programming and prefers Python. Revisit one notebook or codebase you can discuss line by line, including how you prevented look-ahead bias or leakage, handled missing data and checked that a statistically interesting pattern was not merely an artifact of the sample.
