The Michigan Daily - Thursday, October 9, 2003 -11A e're good at ing f, people to jobs. . r x: IX ? :J I :'n .tiCYf *2 Est frrE*?{ 40 hb. nd jobs o eople. It wouldn't be clear to every firm that a man with an M.F. A. in poetry was the right choice to head an automated block trading unit. Or that a designer of solar- powered race cars was the right woman to help launch a new venture in compu- tational chemistry. But after we talked to them, it was clear to us. The D. E. Shaw group is an investment and technology development firm. Since 1988 we've grown into a number of closely related entities with approxi- mately US $5 billion in aggregate capi- tal by hiring smart people from a wide range of backgrounds and letting them implement-and manage-what they invent. A robotics guru. A nationally ranked blackjack player. An operatic mezzo-soprano. And a lot of people who are just exceptionally strong in CS, EE, math, and finance. The firm currently has openings quan- titative analysis, software development, information technology, computer architecture, business development, computational chemistry, finance, and accounting. We're looking for creative but pragmatic people: articulate, curi- ous, and driven. Our working environ- ment is intense but surprisingly casual. We provide unusual opportunities for growth. And we compensate extraordi- nary people extraordinarily well. The D. E. Shaw group will host an information session on Thursday, November 6 at 7:00 PM mn Room D1210 at Michigan Business School. On- campus interviews will take place November 7. To apply for an interview, log on to http://www.bus.umich.edul StudentCareerServicesl. If this isn't possible, please send a resume and cover letter stating your GPA and standardized test scores, broken down by section where applicable, to oncampus@deshaw.com. All applications must be received by October 15.
