We are looking for Ph.D. Summer Interns (2027 grads) for many of our offices, including New York City, San Francisco, Washington, DC and White Plains, NY.

As an Intern, you will help support our Consultants and Partners and may provide research, analyses, and advice to clients in one or more of our practice areas. Responsibilities may include collecting market, industry, company, and competitor information as needed for casework; building and using spreadsheet models and applying econometric analysis to economic and financial data; reviewing, summarizing and analyzing industry trends; creating trial exhibits; drafting memos, expert reports and presentation materials; and participating in client and team meetings and conference calls. The ability to use statistical software and programming languages is essential for some positions. This is a team-based, multi-task environment that requires precision work that is both quantitative and qualitative often with tight deadlines. The qualified candidate will work independently within a team environment on client advisory projects and litigation casework related to quantitative financial and economic analysis across several industries and markets.

We are seeking Ph.D. candidates in economics, statistics, finance, or a related field with training in econometrics and quantitative methods. Candidates should have exceptional analytic skills and strong academic records. Qualified candidates must be detail-oriented, think analytically and critically, and have excellent oral and written communications skills and be fluent in English. Candidates will be highly efficient using desktop tools such as MS Office applications including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and be adept at online research. Capabilities with analytical software and programming environments such as SAS, Python, R, and Stata is a plus.

/ 100
Marsh McLennan is a strong early-career option because the company offers several entry routes across the group, from Marsh graduate programmes to Guy Carpenter risk analyst tracks and Oliver Wyman internships. The biggest strengths are breadth of roles and structured learning language in multiple programmes, paired with stable benefits. The main limits are uneven public signals on candidate experience and outcomes, because Marsh McLennan does not publish conversion rates, retention, or time-to-promotion data for early-career cohorts.
