The posting

We are looking for a senior researcher to join our Research group. We are a collaborative, data-driven, intellectually rigorous team responsible for coming up with investment ideas, evaluating data sources related to those ideas, codifying those ideas into signals, back-testing the signals, and producing return, risk and trading cost forecasts based on the signals to drive trading decisions. We maintain a friendly, team-oriented environment and place a high value on professionalism, attitude and initiative.

As a senior researcher, you will contribute to idea generation and management of high-impact projects that improve the specification and/or implementation of our investment models, as well as research projects that improve portfolio construction decisions in our fully integrated, unified systematic investment process.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience developing systematic investment strategies, particularly in equity and currency markets and with forecast horizons of days, weeks, or months instead of seconds, minutes, or hours
  • A creative, rigorous thinker with a demonstrated ability to come up with differentiated alpha research ideas based on investment logic and intuition
  • Extensive experience performing hands-on quantitative research as an individual contributor
  • Extensive experience managing other researchers on multiple simultaneous research projects
  • Significant experience evaluating novel data sources
  • Expertise in risk and transaction cost modeling
  • Familiarity with optimization and portfolio construction in a systematic investment process more generally
  • Significant experience implementing successful research ideas in a production process
  • Excellent communication skills, including data visualization
  • Strong analytical, quantitative, and problem-solving skills
  • Understanding of probability, statistics, linear regression, time-series analysis, linear algebra, calculus, optimization and portfolio theory
  • Knowledge of the application of statistics to economics (including econometrics or regression analysis)
  • Experience with a statistical computing environment such as Python, Stata, R, or MATLAB
  • Good understanding of the academic field of empirical asset pricing
  • High energy and strong work ethic
  • An undergraduate degree with an emphasis on challenging quantitative coursework. A graduate degree in a field related to economics, finance, or statistics is a plus

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
