Job Description

A pioneering and quantitatively driven hedge fund is hiring a Junior Quantitative Researcher for their Mid-Frequency Equity Statistical Arbitrage team. As part of their expansion, they are applying sophisticated machine learning techniques to analyze a variety of large datasets and enhance predictive models.


The business, a relatively unknown UK entity, values collaboration and takes an academic approach to research. Anyone joining the business will share similar principles.


The right candidate will have a stellar academic background, having studied Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science at the PhD level from a top university. While finance experience is preferred, it is not a prerequisite if machine learning techniques (such as deep learning) have been applied to other real-world applications. Experience between 0-2 years is ideal.


If you fit the criteria and are looking to get into quantitative trading, we would love to hear from you.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
