Job Description - Quantitative Researcher

Experience Required: Entry-level (PhD Program) or Experienced (Postdoc, Faculty, Scientific Lab)


Education: PhD in Math, Science, Engineering and other relevant disciplines


The PDT team - a quantitative investment manager - is hiring new or recent PhD graduates and experienced researchers (postdoctoral fellows, faculty, scientific lab, finance industry) to create and improve proprietary trading models and strategies while working closely with a deep bench of senior researchers.

 

We have a successful record of hiring, challenging, and retaining talented researchers from diverse academic backgrounds. Individuals interested in conducting innovative research with real-world impact seem to enjoy and excel at the types of problems we like to solve.

 

PDT Researchers work in small, nimble teams where merit and contribution, not seniority, drive the discussion. We strive to foster an intellectually challenging environment that encourages collaboration and innovative ideas.

Our people are intellectually extraordinary and our community is close-knit, down-to-earth, and diverse. 



Responsibilities:




  • Work closely with senior researchers on a variety of trading strategies and research projects, with the opportunity to conduct independent research and originate research topics over time

  • Contribute to the long-term success of our research-driven algorithmic trading business
