2021 Summer Analyst (Remote)
As of today, we expect that our 2021 summer analysts will join us remotely, working from home along with the rest of our team, until we are able to return to our offices. If we are able to reopen our offices in a timely manner, summer analysts will have the opportunity to join us in our New Orleans or Oklahoma City office or to continue working remotely from home.
We are looking for a summer analyst (intern) to join our New Orleans or Oklahoma City office. This is a unique opportunity to experience first-hand the world of global energy trading and risk management at a highly regarded firm.
As an summer analyst, you will:
- Acquire significant knowledge across multiple energy commodity markets products including crude oil, electricity, natural gas, natural gas liquids and refined products, while working closely with our global team
- Work on the development and implementation of sophisticated quantitative applications, models and tools
- Interact with senior members of our team and clients
- Have a high level of responsibility and be empowered to make important contributions
We believe Mercatus Energy Advisors is an ideal place to begin a career. We make a strong commitment to intern development and will provide significant opportunities to rapidly gain visibility and responsibility. While our culture is intellectually challenging, it is also very collegial and enjoyable.
