Quantitative Researcher – New Graduate

Location: London

Scope

As a Quantitative Researcher, you will join a hedge fund’s systematic investment team and contribute to the research and development of quantitative trading strategies across global financial markets.

  • Research predictive signals
  • Develop statistical and machine-learning models
  • Analyse large, noisy datasets to identify repeatable investment opportunities

Working closely with portfolio managers, researchers, and developers, you will take ownership of ideas from initial hypothesis and backtesting through to production implementation and performance monitoring.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
