About the role

PIMCO, a global leader in active fixed income, invites PhD candidates to the 2027 PhD Summer Internship – Portfolio Management, Quantitative Research Analyst, at our Newport Beach, CA headquarters. The 10-week program runs June to mid-August. You will develop models for alpha generation and risk management, collaborate with Portfolio Management, and apply econometric analyses of historical returns using Python.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
