As an intern, you will conceptualize valuation strategies, develop mathematical models, and help translate algorithms into tradable code. Your primary focus will be on back testing and implementing trading models in a live environment, using unconventional data sources to drive innovation and develop monetization systems for trading signals.
Candidates must have a PhD in a highly quantitative field such as mathematics, statistics, physics, or computer science. Strong statistical knowledge, including machine learning, time-series analysis, and pattern recognition, is essential. You should have prior experience in data-driven research, independent research experience, and the ability to translate mathematical models into programming languages like Python, R, or C++.
