About the role
Analyze large datasets using statistical and machine learning methods to identify and combine alpha signals for global equity markets, primarily U.S. equities. Develop mid-frequency statistical arbitrage signals and strategies with holding periods of days to weeks. The role seeks a PhD-level candidate, ideally with 2–4 years of buy-side equity statistical arbitrage experience, though exceptional junior or academic candidates may be considered. Candidates should have strong statistical and machine learning modeling skills, experience with complex datasets, strong problem-solving abilities, proficiency in Python or C++, and a collaborative approach.
