Job Description
Do you want to tackle the biggest questions in finance with near infinite compute power at your fingertips
GResearch is a leading quantitative research and technology firm with offices in London and Dallas. We are proud to employ some of the best people in their field and to nurture their talent in a dynamic flexible and highly stimulating culture where worldbeating ideas are cultivated and rewarded.
This role is based in our new Soho Place office opened in 2023 in the heart of Central London and home to our Research Lab.
The role
Our researchers have a challenge: disproving the efficient market hypothesis every day. This requires them to harness massive compute power and to use stateoftheart ML techniques published in recent conferences or developed entirely inhouse as textbook methods wont beat the competition.
ML is integral to develop successful investment management strategies; it is one of the core drivers of our overall performance and success. It has long been a key tool at GResearch and we count a range of ICML and NeurIPS published researchers among our people.
Our ML practitioners have huge amounts of (clean) data and near infinite compute at their fingertips with which theyre incentivised to explore the cuttingedge and find the 1 of difference. And unlike pure problems our researchers get near instantaneous feedback in the form of absolute numbers where success is highly measurable and has a direct impact on the business.
As a team we read the latest publications in the field and discuss them within the our vibrant collaborative research community and attend the leading conferences worldwide such as NeurIPS and ICML.
In this research role you will be able to develop and test your ideas with realworld data in an academic environment.

- Experience in one or more of deep learning reinforcement learning nonconvex optimisation Bayesian nonparametrics NLP or approximate inference
- Excellent reasoning skills and mathematical ability are crucial: offtheshelf methods dont always work on our data so you will need to understand how to develop your own models
- Strong programming skills and experience working with Python ScikitLearn SciPy NumPy Pandas and Jupyter Notebooks is desirable. Experience with objectoriented programming is beneficial
- Publications at top conferences such as NeurIPS ICML or ICLR is highly desirable
Why should you apply
