We really appreciate your help with this. Best, Beth Crotty ------ This May, we're excited to host the first annual Spring Education Event (SEE) at Jane Street <https://www.janestreet.com/>. We're inviting students finishing their freshman and sophomore years of college to spend a couple of days in our New York City headquarters to learn more about what we do. Students who are selected to attend this event will receive an in-depth look into the ways we use math, computer science and probability concepts in trading, as well as insight into the different roles that exist within our firm. Over the course of two days, participants will hear from and interact with various traders and technologists, and learn how they transitioned from their college concentrations in STEM fields to a career at Jane Street. Some highlights of the event include a talk from Sandor Lehoczky about selection bias and a panel of new hires explaining the different roles at Jane Street, including trading, software development, and quantitative research. We will also enjoy a few social events, which will provide another great opportunity to speak with Jane Street employees and the other students attending the event. Selected students will arrive in New York the evening of May 22nd and will depart the evening of May 24th. All travel to and from New York, housing and meal expenses will be covered by Jane Street. Our office is in the heart of the Financial District, and the hotel is very close to the office. To apply, please email see-js at janestreet.com <womeninstem at janestreet.com> with a resume and a brief statement (250 words or less) that tells us about yourself and why you would like to attend.
