Quantitative Research Scientist – Systematic Investing

Quantitative Research Scientist – Systematic InvestingI’m working with one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated institutional investors to hire exceptional Quantitative Researchers and Research Scientists into a growing systematic investment research platform.Their philosophy is different.Rather than building teams of generalist researchers expected to do everything, the platform brings together specialists across different areas of quantitative research, combining their expertise to discover, test and develop investment strategies.We’re interested in exceptional researchers specialising in areas including:Alpha & Feature Research – discovering predictive signals across traditional and alternative datasetsMachine Learning & AI – ML, NLP, deep learning and statistical learning applied to investment problemsSystematic Strategy Research – developing and testing strategies across global markets and asset classesPortfolio Construction & Optimisation – translating signals into robust, investable portfoliosResearch Validation – rigorous backtesting, out-of-sample testing, robustness analysis and identifying genuine versus spurious alphaAlternative Data – extracting investment information from large, complex and unconventional datasetsAdvanced Quantitative Methods – statistics, econometrics, time-series analysis, mathematical modelling and numerical methodsYou don't need to be a Portfolio Manager.You don't need 10+ years in a hedge fund.And you don't need to be a generalist who does everything.What matters is having genuine depth in your area of expertise and the ability to apply rigorous scientific research to difficult investment problems.We're particularly interested in researchers from leading systematic hedge funds, quantitative asset managers, proprietary trading firms, investment banks and world-class academic/research environments.
