Overview

As a Quantitative Research Intern at SIG, you will work on projects that model the work of our full-time employees. You will also go through a comprehensive education program and interact with mentors who are at the top of their field, allowing you to build foundational knowledge in quantitative finance.

What you'll do

  • Over the 10-week program, you'll apply probability, statistics and mathematical creativity to several impactful trading projects.
  • Collaborate with researchers, traders, and technologists to help transform our quantitative modeling into trading opportunities and strategies.
  • Join an industry leading training program and be mentored by industry experts on topics including option theory and option modeling in the classroom to help build a foundation for a long-term career

What we're looking for
  • Students in the penultimate year of their PhD program studying in a quantitative field such as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Operations Research, or Economics
  • Exceptional mathematical problem-solving skills
  • Solid communication skills, both in the ability to understand others and to make yourself clearly understood
  • Strong, practical computing skills; a specific language proficiency is less important than your ability to get computers to accomplish tasks efficiently and reliably
  • Experience working on in-depth research projects

What's in it for you

  • Our market leading education program, incorporating classroom theory and simulated learning.
  • Our non-hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive and have an impact. We are not your typical trading firm – the environment is casual, collaborative and we focus on continuous development.
  • Fully stocked kitchen - daily breakfast and lunch.
  • Regular social, sporting, and community events.
  • Visa sponsorship and relocation package where required.
  • Explore our benefits and culture link
