PDT Partners, a quantitative investment manager, is hiring exceptional academics, PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers for our Quantitative Research internship program.

At PDT, research is rigorous, methodical, and deeply collegial. Research is cumulative by nature; whether an inquiry yields a breakthrough or simply opens new lines of questioning, we learn, iterate, and move forward together.

Research Interns will work closely with senior researchers on our trading strategies and models. Projects are substantive and varied, spanning statistical modeling, new signal research, and the development and optimization of trading strategies. Interns will engage with large-scale datasets and state-of-the-art technology, supported by significant computational resources. Beyond the research itself, you will become part of PDT's broader academic culture through intern and company-wide events that nurture collaboration, curiosity, and community.

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.
