Internship - Robert W. Straub Fellowships - Public Service - Finance and Investm

Oregon State Treasury is seeking diverse candidates for our Robert W. Straub Fellowships.

The Robert W. Straub Fellowships seek to attract diverse, energetic, business‑savvy, and public‑minded new leaders to the important intersection of finance and public service.

There are two fellowships, both designed to offer early‑career professionals opportunities to learn about and help guide the “business of government.” The program is open to diverse students with an interest in public finance, investments, and other fiscal functions. These opportunities will be full time (40 hours per week). Incumbents will work a hybrid schedule, with an in‑office presence (1–3 days per week) at our Salem office, as well as remote work.

• The Straub Summer Fellowship is a paid 10‑week program for current junior and senior college students ($10,500 stipend).
• The Straub Residency is an 8‑month paid post‑graduate assignment for newly awarded college graduates ($25,000 stipend).

Oregon State Treasury is focused on improving the financial well‑being of all Oregonians. We provide low‑cost programs for governments and empower Oregonians to invest in themselves and their loved ones for a more secure future.

We are committed to cultivating a workplace that is diverse, inclusive, and respectful. We value and support the collective differences in who we are and celebrate the fact that everyone comes to the table as their own unique individual. We believe this commitment empowers our success and makes Oregon State Treasury an excellent place to work. As Treasury employees, our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion makes this a safe environment to ask questions, learn, and grow, and helps us to better serve Oregonians.

Oregon State Treasury is led by State Treasurer Tobias Read. As Treasurer, he is the state’s financial leader, the custodian of public funds and chief investment officer. We prioritize investing for the long term, doing business the right way, and empowering Oregonians to invest in themselves. We’re proud of the work we do to help families, governments, and businesses succeed.

The projects offered will be centered around Treasurer Read’s commitment to decarbonize our investment portfolio by working toward a net‑zero carbon emission target by 2050. Earlier this year the Treasurer announced his intention to better prepare for the long‑term risks and opportunities that climate change presents to our pension fund investments: a commitment to decarbonize our investment portfolio by working toward a net‑zero carbon emission target by 2050.

Specifically, he will be focusing his efforts over the next year on working with our team and partners to present a responsible, thoughtful, and practical decarbonization plan to the Oregon Investment Council by February of 2024.

Oregon is looking for its next generation of public finance leaders. Government is a multi‑billion‑dollar business. To succeed and protect the public good, government needs bold, diverse, and innovative leaders with business acumen and a commitment to service. Quality of life, after all, is directly tied to financial security.

The business of government at Oregon State Treasury includes investment management, debt management, financial services, and management of financial empowerment programs. The Robert W. Straub Fellowships at the Oregon State Treasury offer experience and opportunity in a leading institutional investment fund and government financial hub.

If you are interested in making a difference in government and getting on the ground level of net‑zero carbon emission, please submit a cover letter (no more than two pages explaining your interest/experience and what you hope the program offers you), resume, and letters of reference. Please be sure to include which program you are interested in. Application materials are due no later than May 1, 2023.
