Quantitative Research Internship - Summer 2023

JOB DESCRIPTION
Overview

SIG Dublin is looking for PhD students to join our 2023 Quantitative Research (QR) Summer Internship. This internship is the perfect opportunity for students interested in exploring a research role in one of the world’s leading quantitative trading firms. The internship is a 10-week program offering classroom learning, together with guided research into a real-world problem, allowing you to apply your knowledge in probability, statistics, stochastic optimisation, numerical analysis, and machine learning as you develop your understanding of financial analytics methods.

Working from our modern and fun office in Dublin’s city centre, this could be the first step of your career in Quantitative Research. Each of our interns get a real-world research problem to work on and will be paired with a mentor from our quantitative research team. There’ll be a wide variety of projects to suit the diverse skillset of our interns. You will also participate in an educational programme that offers insight into the world of finance. Included in the programme are lectures on the industry and small group sessions with our tenured researchers, focusing on the mathematical puzzles we work on solving every day.


What we're looking for

Who You Are:

 

Research Minded: You enjoy diving deep into a question and are interested in exploring the subtleties of the dynamic market conditions. You like building mathematical models to reveal patterns in the vast amount of data.

 

A Problem Solver: You enjoy solving puzzles and love it when you discover a solution to a difficult problem. You’re not afraid to discuss ideas and work with others to find the optimal solution.

 

A Communicator: You enjoy building relationships with those you work closely with. You enjoy sharing ideas, expressing your thoughts, and listening to the views of others.

 

Analytical & Detail Oriented: You prefer to explore a question with your analytical mind - crafting and fitting a model, drawing conclusions by carefully interpreting the results. You’re not afraid to challenge the assumptions of your model.

 

Curious: You’re excited by a career in Quantitative Trading as a researcher. You are interested in learning how to apply your academic knowledge in this industry.

 

Class of 2023 or 2024: You are a PhD student in the penultimate year of study, majoring in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or econometrics. Successful interns are invited back as graduates to join the Quantitative Research Programme (our full-time graduate programme). Depending on when you graduate, you’ll be invited to join the QR Programme in either March or September 2024.

 

 

What's In It For You:

 

Education: Throughout the internship you’ll have classes covering a vast range of topics (Financial Maths, Game Theory, Tech, Trader Talks, Poker, Speaker Seminars, In-house trading games… the list goes on!) from some of the most experienced employees in SIG.

 

Development: You will get to collaborate with a wide range of people in the classroom and through your project work, allowing you to engage with others that share a similar passion for mathematics, problem-solving, game theory and technology.

 

Culture: Our non-hierarchical culture allows employees of every level to thrive. We buck the trend in the financial world – the environment is casual, collaborative and we focus on continuous development, no matter how long you’ve been in SIG.

 

Perks: Based in Ireland’s Financial Services Centre, in the heart of Dublin’s city centre, our employees avail of free onsite catering, a games room, and a large in-house gym, to name but a few of our favourite perks. We organise weekly social activities during the summer for our interns and we’ll also provide summer interns, who aren’t from Dublin, with accommodation for the duration of the internship.

 

Our Summer Internship is 10 weeks and runs from late June to late August. SIG will sponsor work permits for non-EU students.

 

** We hire for our QR internship on a rolling basis, therefore interested candidates are strongly encouraged to apply early. Students who require a work permit are strongly encouraged to apply as early as possible to leave sufficient time for the process.**

 

SIG is an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to diversity and inclusion throughout our recruitment process. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruitment process, please contact us.
