We think this event will be a great opportunity for students and we really appreciate your help with this. -Meaghan Burke This May, we're excited to host our second Spring Education Event (S.E.E.) at Jane Street <https://www.janestreet.com/>. We're inviting freshmen and sophomores to spend four days in our New York City headquarters to learn more about what we do and how we do it through a set of trading and programming classes and activities. Attendees will receive an in-depth look into the ways we use math and computer science, as well as insight into the different roles that exist within our firm. Selected students will arrive in New York the evening of May 21st and will depart the morning of May 26th. Jane Street will provide travel to and from New York, housing, a variety of social events throughout the week and a $500 stipend. Our office is located in Brookfield Place <https://brookfieldplaceny.com/> and the hotel where you’ll be staying is just a few blocks from the office. Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm that uses innovative technology, a scientific approach, and a deep understanding of markets to guide our business. We are a global liquidity provider and market maker. With offices in New York, London and Hong Kong, we operate around the clock and around the globe. Founded in 2000, Jane Street employs over 550 people. We are always recruiting top students and the environment at Jane Street is open, informal, intellectual and fun. The dress code is casual, the kitchen is stocked and discussions are always lively. Teaching and learning are central activities through classes, mentoring and discussion. In the trading program, students will learn about mathematical and financial topics such as probability, market structure, and arbitrage through a combination of short classroom lectures, group games, and mock trading sessions. There will be a main curriculum of core subjects, with flexibility to explore alternative areas of interest for those already familiar with a given topic. These activities are structured to provide a foundation for and a broad overview of our work, and there will be plenty of opportunities for close interaction with our traders. Students selected for the software development program will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of building electronic trading systems - fulltime developers will work with you to write a program that trades on a simulated stock exchange. You'll also have the opportunity to learn OCaml <https://www.janestreet.com/technology/>, our programming language of choice, and the libraries and tools that we use in our everyday work, putting them to use by writing the backend and UI for a computer game. While participants will learn about both trading and software development throughout the program, you can only participate in one of the tracks. Both segments will have a combination of classroom lectures, group games and exercises, and one-on-one mentorship. *Application Process* Students interested in attending should apply here <https://www.janestreet.com/apply-see/> to be considered for a spot in the program. The deadline to apply for this event is Thursday, April 20th. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email see-js at janestreet.com. Good luck with the application process and we hope to meet you soon! [image: Inline image 1] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
