I am writing because we are currently recruiting for research positions involving very technical machine intensive scientists. We are a multi billion dollar asset management company with offices in New York, London and Bermuda and we have embarked on a new business area with the sole mandate of creating automated high frequency trading strategies across multiple asset classes. I am hoping that you might have some interested PhD level students with an interest in researching and developing learning models for high frequency time series in the finance space. We are looking for very creative people who are entrepreneurial and independent. All candidates must be highly skilled programmers and adept at applying statistical and learning techniques in an applied manner.
