Junior Quantitative Researcher
My client is a leading quantitative hedge fund which engages in systematic, process-driven proprietary trading. They are seeking to expand their already successful team, utilizing their world class infrastructure to eliminate market inefficiencies across various markets and asset classes across high and medium frequencies. The team has an extensive history of success, and is looking to expand this with a new Junior Quantitative Researcher.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a new graduate or someone with a year or so experience to take the next step in their career – with the flat organizational structure and meaningful autonomy given by this client, it will give the Quantitative Researcher the opportunity to build something of their own.
