Cornerstone Research is involved in a broad variety of
cases, and our work has involved high profile cases and

ASSOCIATE AT CORNERSTONE RESEARCH:
Cornerstone Research provides an interesting and rewarding
work environment. Our staff works directly with esteemed
faculty experts in a distinctive "partnership" that
combines the strengths of the academic and business worlds.
Cornerstone Research provides opportunities for associates
to develop as testifying experts if they are interested in
such a career path.
Associates are central to case work at Cornerstone Research
and are involved in all phases of a project. In the
initial stages, associates actively participate in the
formulation of the work plan and the analysis of issues.
As the case progresses, associates handle the complex
aspects of a case directly, while managing and advising
analysts. They work with senior staff, experts, and
clients to develop case strategy and to determine how best
to communicate our findings. In addition, associates
actively participate in shaping and implementing the firm's
recruiting, training, and practice development strategies.
We seek candidates who have pursued doctoral studies in
finance, economics, accounting, or marketing. Candidates
must have the ability to apply academic research to real
world issues, present concise explanations of complex
analyses, and independently manage projects and junior
staff. The ideal candidate will possess a strong empirical
background and excellent interpersonal skills. We offer an
industry-competitive compensation and benefits package.
