I am currently urgently searching for a junior quantitative researcher or candidate used to both quantitative methods and finance. The candidate must have at least 2 years of experience in finance, preferably with a top tier bank or well-regarded systematic fund or proprietary trading fund.  Candidates from extremely high level academic background may be considered with no experience but awards such as ACMs and Olympiads are preferred. The role will focus on the candidate seeking patterns in large, dirty and noisy data sets, using techniques such as time series analysis, probability theory and regression analysis.
The company is a hedge fund based in London that has a global reach with founding offices in Chicago and New York. Their drive is profitability and innovation and because of this they focus primarily on transparency of costs as well as a solid platform to trade off. On top of this, everything about them is driven towards quant trading which makes the process of trading and researching signals far smoother and simpler without the politics of other firms. Rewards are also of high importance to the company and monthly and annual trips away are something they are keen on, as well as a relaxed and creative environment where candidates can wear their own clothes and enjoy perks such as massage Fridays and mathematical/coding competitions.
Technically they are looking for candidates with a selection of the following attributes:
C++/C#, Python, R, VBA, Matlab
As well as experience with techniques such as:
Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Linear Regression, Time Series, Clustering, Kelly Criterion and Bayes Theorem, Stochastic Processes and Continuous probability theory
If you feel you have the right profile and would like to know more and get a full job specification please contact James Kavanagh on 0203 402 6902 or j.kavanagh@westbourne-partners.com
(Ideally they are looking to make a hire in the next 3 months)
