2009 Summer Analyst Position with Cornerstone Research-

ABOUT OUR FIRM Cornerstone Research has consulted on a wide variety of projects involving numerous industries.  Our clients have included nearly all major securities firms, top consulting and other professional service firms, leading pharmaceutical companies, major participants in energy markets, over one hundred internet and other high-technology firms, and large telecommunications providers.  These companies often have a large percentage of their net worth at stake when they seek our services.  As such, our projects receive focused attention from client chief executive officers and boards of directors.

Our diverse experience allows us to provide clients with a unique breadth of perspective and expertise.  For example, in securities projects we analyze stock prices, derivatives, and debt instruments.  We assess high-profile mergers and acquisitions, insider-trading allegations, and share repurchase transactions.  In antitrust and intellectual property cases we look at industry structure, the nature of purchase decisions, and the commercial value of innovation and technology.  For more information, visit www.cornerstone.com.

SUMMER ANALYST ROLE To provide an introduction to the analyst position at Cornerstone Research, the summer analyst role closely mirrors that of the full-time position.  Summer analysts work in case teams that range in size but typically include a faculty expert, senior consultants, and analysts.  Within a case team, the summer analyst makes important contributions during all phases of a project – from developing case strategy and conducting analyses to preparing experts for testimony.  Case work has both quantitative and qualitative elements, involving such key responsibilities as conducting financial and economic modeling, examining market and industry behavior, and presenting findings to colleagues and clients.  Our small size provides the summer analyst opportunities to interact closely not only with senior consultants and academic experts, but also with clients.

SUMMER ANALYST DEVELOPMENT Cornerstone Research believes that strong skills develop best through practical experience.  We begin with a brief version of our full-time analyst training program to introduce the summer analyst to sophisticated analytical and statistical techniques used throughout our practice.  Following training, summer analysts join case teams where they have immediate impact while continuing to learn new skills.  Analysts gain tremendous learning and development opportunities by working closely with faculty, clients, and senior consultants.

Cornerstone Research values the professional growth of its summer analysts and recognizes their contributions to clients and the firm.  Consequently, many summer analysts choose to join Cornerstone Research full-time upon graduation.  The analytical depth of our assignments, the breadth of industry exposure, and experience working in case teams offer outstanding preparation for analysts applying to top graduate programs in business, economics, and law, and for ensuing careers in consulting, finance, industry, and academia.  A number of our senior consultants started their careers as analysts with our firm.

 

We welcome you to meet current analysts and learn more about this unique intersection of economics, business, and law at the Stanford Liberal Arts Career Fair:

Thursday, January 29, 2009

Noon – 4 PM, Tresidder Union, 2nd Floor
