The Council of Institutional Investors is seeking a full-time analyst for an opening in Washington, DC.

Duties largely consist of extensive investment and corporate governance research; and in-depth analysis of investor-related issues pending on Capitol Hill and at key regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as well as various stock exchanges. At the direction of senior staff, analysts may also engage member funds and key policymakers and their staffers to advance the Council’s dual mission of education and advocacy.

Applications must be received on or before the close of business on March 15, 2010, and must contain the following: (1) a cover letter; (2) a resume; and (3) a two-page writing sample of the candidate’s own work—no group projects please. The writing sample may be an excerpt from a previous project. Candidates who submit writing samples exceeding two pages will not be considered. Further details on Craig’s List.  Wow! This the opportunity of a lifetime for the right person.
