Point72 graduate schemes

2 open now

Point72 has 2 roles open right now: 1 summer internship and 1 spring week, both in London. Neither of Point72’s roles has a published closing date, so both are rolling and can close any day.

Last checked on Point72’s own recruitment system on Friday 13 November 2026.

Point72 runs early-careers hiring on two separate tracks: the discretionary-investing Point72 Academy, a paid analyst training programme, and Cubist Systematic Strategies, its quant affiliate, which runs its own internships and a year-long Cubist Quant Academy rotational programme.

How Point72 recruits

Point72's own blog describes the process for the separate Academy track: qualified applicants are sent an online questionnaire, then a case study, then interview.

Point72's own Academy page states the 2026 cohorts have already closed and gives only seasonal windows for the next cycle: "Applications have closed for the 2026 Summer Internship and 2026 Full-Time Program for Upcoming Graduates," with 2027 Summer Internship applications stated to open in "Winter 2026" and close "Early Summer 2026" on that Academy track specifically (not confirmed for Cubist's own internships).

How the process usually runs

Stages as Point72 describes them. Timings vary by programme, so treat this as a guide rather than a commitment.

01Online questionnairePoint72's own blog on the Academy programme: "As the first step in our application process, qualified candidates are sent an online questionnaire." (This describes the separate Academy discretionary-investing track, not the Cubist quant roles we currently list.)
02Case studySame Academy blog post: "the next stage is a case study, where candidates get to show us their ability to do research and think critically."
03InterviewSame Academy blog post highlights being ready to answer the question "Why long/short investing?" in interview.
