Quantitative Research Intern
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About Us: description of company. Not a section heading per list? Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about company, not role. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to these headings where appropriate.
We have:
- Role Summary: description of role, tasks, program dates, location, work schedule, visa etc. This could be "About the role" maybe.
- How You Will Make An Impact: bullet points? Actually it's prose: "Be mentored ... Lead a project ... Gain real-world experience". Could be Responsibilities.
- What You Bring To The Team (Required): list of required qualifications. Could be Requirements or Qualifications.
- Additional Assets (Preferred): preferred skills. Could be Skills.
- What We Offer: benefits, pay, etc. Could be Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to extract specifics:
From Role Summary:
- The Quantitative Research Group at American Century Investments is looking for a sharp, critical thinker with a passion for investing, analysis and big datasets. The work you do will directly contribute to enhancing the team’s research capabilities and security selection algorithms. This program is for currently enrolled graduate students. The deadline to apply is November 1, 2026. Location: this onsite position will be based out of our New York City or Kansas City office. Program dates: June 2nd - August 6th (10 weeks). Work schedule: 40 hours/week - Monday-Friday (8am-5pm). This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship. Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship, now or in the future.
We need to preserve all substantive info. Should we include deadline, location, program dates, work schedule, visa requirement. Those are specifics.
We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: could include role summary description (first two sentences) maybe.
- Responsibilities: "How You Will Make An Impact" bullet points.
- Requirements: "What You Bring To The Team (Required)" list.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we can combine? The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we also have Skills (Preferred) maybe separate.
We have Benefits: "Our interns receive competitive pay! As well as 401k eligibility for contributions We offer a Mentor Program: a designated mentor will be assigned to you during your time with us to provide career coaching and mentorship Access to Business Resource Groups that you can ally and participate with (Accelerate, Charlie Mike, Emerging Professionals, Enable, Pride, Mosaic) Casual dress code - you can be comfortable and express your unique self A robust social and philanthropic calendar of events hosted just for interns!"
Also Pay: "For New York based, the salary for this role is $30/hour. Actual offers are based on various factors including but not limited to a candidate’s location, skills, experience, and relevant education and/or training. This position is eligible for cash incentive providing the potential to earn more."
Schedule: "Work schedule: 40 hours/week - Monday-Friday (8am-5pm)" and program dates.
We also have location and deadline etc maybe under About the role.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation statements, legal, etc. Remove those.
We must not repeat job title as heading (not present). Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none). Remove duplicated lines.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay $30/hour for NY based, so we can include Pay section.
We must not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them; it does.
We must not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them; it does (work schedule, program dates).
We must not create Qualifications section unless posting actually states them; we have Required and Preferred.
We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have headings list includes both Requirements and Qualifications. We could have Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred? Or we could have Requirements for required, Skills for preferred. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine required and preferred into one "Requirements" section with sublists? But we must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could embed both required and preferred as separate lists under same heading? Might be okay.
But we need to follow instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid using both Requirements and Qualifications. However, to avoid thin sections, we could have Requirements (required) and Skills (preferred). Or we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (preferred). Let's decide.
We have required list: currently enrolled Master’s students studying Quantitative Finance, Statistics, Computer Science, or other related disciplines; Understanding of, and interest in, global capital markets and investing; Coding experience is required; Ability to communicate technical findings and work within a team environment; curious and eager to learn about data-driven underpinnings of quantitative investing; Demonstrates the American Century Investments Winning Behaviors: Customer Focused, Courageous and Accountable, Collaborative, Curious and Adaptable, Competitively Driven.
Preferred: Knowledge of Python or R; Experience with large-scale company financial data.
We could put required under Requirements, preferred under Skills.
Now Benefits: list: competitive pay, 401k eligibility, Mentor Program, Access to Business Resource Groups (list), Casual dress code, robust social and philanthropic calendar of events.
Pay: $30/hour for NY based, cash incentive potential.
Schedule: Work schedule 40 hours/week Monday-Friday 8am-5pm; Program dates June 2nd - August 6th (10 weeks); Location: New York City or Kansas City office; Deadline Nov 1, 2026; Visa requirement: not eligible for sponsorship, must be authorized to work in US.
We could put location, deadline, visa under About the role or maybe under Schedule? Probably About the role.
Now we need to output HTML fragment only.
