What are the responsibilities and job description for the Students - Austin Trading Desk Internship Summer 2026 position at Kershner Trading Group?
Kershner Trading Group is excited to offer a Summer 2026 internship opportunity for college students who aspire toward a professional equities trading career after graduation. This position is available in-house, in Austin, TX. There is no availability for remote positions at this time.
Our internship is designed to introduce you to the fast-paced, opportunity-rich world of intraday equities trading and, in turn, for us to witness your strong work ethic, creative problem-solving, and passion for markets, trading, and coding.
This internship is for current US college students and is structured as a summer-long program with a target start date in early June 2026 but has some degree of flexibility around your school schedule.
We are searching for students with a passion for the markets and trading, whether discretionary trading or quantitative trading / coding. This opportunity requires an unusual attention to detail, ability to work well under pressure, and ability to multitask. The internship is unpaid, though we are happy to work with your university to grant you credit for the internship. Top talent will be offered an opportunity to join our trading desk upon graduation.
