Base pay range
As a Research Associate, you will work directly with the Senior Research Analyst on many aspects of the research process including: building and maintaining financial models and market trackers, performing fundamental analysis and due diligence on biotechnology companies, writing investment-driven research reports, developing and fielding industry surveys, attending medical and scientific conferences, and undertaking a wide array of industry analyses and competitive assessments. The associate will have broad exposure to company management, scientific and investor conferences, and will interface with key opinion leaders, institutional investor clients, internal sales force and trading personnel.
A strong candidate is independently motivated, analytically-minded, and intellectually curious; possesses one to two years of experience in equity research or a related field with financial modeling and exposure to the equity markets; and have a demonstrable interest in drug development, and a passion for life sciences investing.
Attention to detail, a strong work ethic, the ability to multi-task, and excellent written communication skills are required. We prefer candidates with an undergraduate degree in biology or similar field. An advanced degree (MS/PhD/MD/MBA, etc.) would be a major plus, but is not a requirement.
We Look For People Who Possess The Following Characteristics
- Strong writing and analytical skills. Associates are responsible for writing and producing equity research reports, company initiations, and marketing presentations—often under very tight time constraints;
- Strong financial modeling, accounting, valuation, and quantitative skills. Associates are responsible for building and maintaining integrated models and for organizing and maintaining industry data—attention to detail is critical;
- A passion for the biotechnology sector, stock market and equity research. It is highly advantageous to have prior exposure to the financial markets and equity research, as well as the day-to-day responsibilities of an equity research associate;
- A thorough understanding of the investment process and the ability to perform deep primary research.
- Strong communication skills. As time progresses, associates will interact with internal sales and trading and external clients; responsiveness and professionalism is important;
- Strong work ethic. An ability to perform duties under minimal supervision and become fully-licensed (FINRA Registrations: SIE Securities Exam/63/86/87) within 6-12 months after starting if not already licensed;
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office required; FactSet, Symphony, Bloomberg would be a bonus.
