Quant Researcher – Systematic Equities | Buy-side

Direct message the job poster from Barclay Simpson

We’re partnered with a global investment management firm that has one of the largest quantitative investment teams in the industry. They’re expanding their next-generation systematic equities group, focusing on Equity L/S, Mid-Frequency, Stat-Arb, and Systematic Equity Strategies.

Typical Target Profiles:

• Junior: 2–3 years’ experience or equivalent PhD-level exposure
• Mid-Level: 5–10 years, ideally with multi-asset experience

They're also open to non-traditional quant backgrounds , including algorithmic execution and market microstructure, as these bring valuable implementation insight.

Candidates who understand both signal generation + execution dynamics stand out.

This environment suits people who thrive on collaboration, deep research, autonomy, and measured creativity , supported by world-class data, technology, and teammates.

If you're exploring next-gen systematic opportunities, I'd love to connect.
