The internship requires students with a strong academic background in STEM or finance to contribute to quantitative research by designing systematic investment strategies.
We are interested in hearing from students at the penultimate year of their graduate or postgraduate studies who are looking to secure an internship in quantitative research and possess the relevant attributes. Research at GSA Capital means combining creativity, rigour and attention to detail in the design of systematic investment strategies.
As a minimum, you must have an outstanding academic track record in a STEM, economics or empirical finance discipline from a leading academic institution and be able to demonstrate a passion and understanding for working within a quantitative environment.
For candidates requiring visa sponsorship or additional immigration/right-to-work processing assistance, we encourage you to apply by end of March to allow sufficient time to complete the visa application and/or complete necessary checks before the internship start date.
