Responsibilities:
- Research and develop alpha signals & factor models
- Study the drivers of stock returns and market anomalies using large-scale empirical analysis.
- Investigate the economic rationale behind quantitative signals and evaluate their robustness across market environments.
- Conduct performance attribution, factor decomposition, and risk analysis to better understand portfolio outcomes.
- Develop portfolio construction frameworks that balance alpha opportunities with risk, liquidity, turnover, and capacity constraints.
- Design and maintain research tools, analytics, and scalable workflows that support the investment process.
- Collaborate on projects spanning alpha research, factor investing, portfolio construction, risk modeling, and systematic strategy development.
Preferred Qualifications
- Advanced degree in a quantitative field such as Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 3+ years of experience conducting research within asset management, hedge funds or systematic investment platforms.
- Strong understanding of equity markets, investment processes, and quantitative research techniques.
