About the Position
Hotchkis & Wiley is seeking a highly motivated individual to become part of our Research Associate Program. The Research Associates support our Investment Team, which currently consists of 24 members. The program is a two year program (which the company may extend to four years) and would provide an excellent foundation for someone who wants to eventually become an equity analyst or portfolio manager for an institutional asset management firm.

Note that the applicant must be able to legally work in the U.S. without sponsorship.

- Clients first mentality, positive, energetic, and responsive attitude
- Strong analytical and quantitative skills, including intermediate knowledge of Excel, accounting and finance. Experience with Bloomberg a plus. Knowledge of Python programming also a plus.
