Do you want to tackle the biggest questions in finance with near infinite compute power at your fingertips?
G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology firm, with offices in London and Dallas. We are proud to employ some of the best people in their field and to nurture their talent in a dynamic, flexible and highly stimulating culture where world-beating ideas are cultivated and rewarded.
This role is based in our new Soho Place office – opened in 2023 - in the heart of Central London and home to our Research Lab.
The role
Our researchers use the latest scientific techniques and advanced statistical analysis methods to predict movement in global financial markets.
This requires them to harness massive compute power and use state-of-the-art ML techniques to find innovative solutions, as textbook methods won’t beat the competition.
We are looking to hire an experienced fundamental analyst, with a strong quantitative background, who is interested in transitioning to a more quantitative role, while still leveraging your industry experience.
This is a pure research role where you will be able to develop and test your ideas with real-world data in an academic environment. Using your financial knowledge and analytical skills, you will help to build mathematical models of price movements based on a broad array of data inputs.

For example, this might be someone already working in the discretionary space, who enjoys the mathematical and data side of things, and is interested in making the step across into the quantitative world.
In particular, we want to hear from highly motivated candidates with the following skills and experience:
- Knowledge of financial markets from a strong career background in fundamental equity research
- Some coding ability or the motivation to rapidly learn
- Solid maths background gained from experience in studying maths, physics or a related STEM subject
