A collaborative, academic Quant Fund in NYC is looking for a Mid-Frequency Equity Quant Researcher to join. The fund has been running successful stat arb strategies for the last ~4 years as a team and this growth hire is geared toward someone who can help spearhead novel strategy development covering US and EU markets.
The team is largely comprised of experienced QRs, all coming from tier-one funds, who have largely built out an open, supportive environment where the best strategies are developed through the input of several members tackling similar problems. This is a unique opening as the firm rarely onboards new talent and they are looking for someone who can further foster the joint efforts they have established.
While the Founder of the fund has expressed openness in terms of the QR backgrounds they are willing to consider, the ideal candidate will possess:
- 2+ years alpha signal research experience in equity markets (US and EU markets preferred, willing to consider someone with experience in APAC)
- Strong understanding of feature engineering
- Exposure to signal construction/strategy development/monetization is ideal but not mandatory
- Strong Python coding background
- Advanced STEM degree is preferred but will consider Bachelors with strong industry experience
- Strong communication skills
- Thrives in a collaborative environment
