Internship in Quantitative Research

About G-Research

G-Research is a leading quantitative research and technology firm with offices in London and Dallas. We employ some of the best people in their field and nurture their talent in a dynamic, flexible, and highly stimulating culture where world-beating ideas are cultivated and rewarded.

This role is based in our new Soho Place office, opened in 2023, located in the heart of Central London and home to our Research Lab.

The Role

• 10-week summer programme (22nd June to 28th August 2026)
• Working hours: 09:00–17:30
• Based in Central London

Over the course of 10 weeks, G-Research Summer Research Programme interns gain a unique insight into life as a Quantitative Researcher at a leading quantitative finance research firm.

You will be assigned a meaningful and challenging research project that requires the application of innovative yet pragmatic mathematical and computational analysis.

Using rigorous scientific methodology, robust statistical analysis, and pattern recognition, you will extract meaningful predictive signals from financial time-series data to forecast future dynamics.

Your project will provide opportunities to apply a wide range of techniques, including mathematical modelling, deep learning, optimisation, and machine learning in a practical and challenging context. Additional tasks may include implementing back-testing frameworks to ensure signal robustness or creating pipelines to construct and simulate portfolio performance based on various input signals.

During the internship, you will collaborate with a Quantitative Researcher who will mentor you throughout your independent project. You will receive structured feedback and reviews to support your development, culminating in a final presentation of your research ideas to senior management.

Participation in G-Research's Summer Internship Programme offers an in-depth insight into our academic approach to quantitative finance and the opportunity to explore London. You will also engage with fellow interns and colleagues through a full itinerary of social events.

Top performers may be considered for full-time opportunities upon completion of their studies.
