We are looking for a senior researcher to join our Research group. We are a collaborative, data-driven, intellectually rigorous team responsible for coming up with investment ideas, evaluating data sources related to those ideas, codifying those ideas into signals, back-testing the signals, and producing return, risk and trading cost forecasts based on the signals to drive trading decisions. We maintain a friendly, team-oriented environment and place a high value on professionalism, attitude and initiative. As a senior researcher, you will contribute to idea generation and management of high-impact projects that improve the specification and/or implementation of our investment models, as well as research projects that improve portfolio construction decisions in our fully integrated, unified systematic investment process.
