An academic, collaborative Quant Fund in NYC is capitalizing on its phenomenal performance and hiring an additional Equity QR for their team. The team is comprised of QRs and engineers from various top-tier funds in the US who have built out equity stat arb systems with a mid-frequency focus (days-weeks). This team has been live for several years with financial backing to take on ambitious projects to explore new holding periods, datasets and ML approaches to systematic investing.
The group is led by a veteran within the hedge fund industry who pays close attention to fostering an open environment where QRs can develop optimal strategies by working together. As the team continues to expand, they are ideally seeking someone with:
- 2+ years experience in alpha generation (single name equities preferred)
- Experience working with fundamental and alternative datasets
- Experience leveraging ML methods on noisy data
- Advanced STEM degree
- Desire to work in a team environment
- Strong communication skills
