- The design and development of quantitative models which predict price movements using historical data.

- Creating systematic trading strategies.
The environment is that of Facebook or Google, relaxed open with time to think and make the right decisions. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed with an open dress code.

§ Applicants should hold a PhD in Statistics, Machine Learning or Computational Linguistics or Voice recognition
§ Experience in Webscale or large-scale data pattern detection at the terabyte and petabyte level,
§ 2 years' postdoctoral experience at a leading research institution.

§ First-class quantitative skills, good attention to detail and significant academic achievement at PhD level.
§ Candidates should have a practical approach to solving complex problems, experience of handling large datasets (preferably real world data) and the ability communicate ideas/results clearly to colleagues.
This is a very specific role and candidates will be rewarded significantly if they can demonstrate the above skill set.
