• Perform factor attribution, return decomposition, and exposure analysis to explain portfolio performance.
• Research fundamental, behavioral, and alternative-data signals that may improve stock selection models.
• Build and maintain scalable research tools, datasets, and analytics supporting the factor research process.
• Communicate research findings and contribute to the team's ongoing research agenda.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field.
• 3+ years of experience in quantitative equity research, factor investing, systematic equities, or related investment research roles.
• Strong understanding of factor models, equity return forecasting, risk attribution, performance attribution, and systematic investing.
• Experience researching equity factors such as Value, Momentum, Quality, Growth, Profitability, Revision, Sentiment, or Crowding.
• Strong Python programming skills and experience working with large financial datasets.
• Ability to clearly communicate quantitative research to both technical and investment audiences.
