Natural Language Processing Internship

G-Research Summer Research Programme — NLP Intern

We tackle the most complex problems in quantitative finance by bringing scientific clarity to financial complexity. From our London HQ, we unite world-class researchers and engineers in an environment that values deep exploration and methodical execution. Together, we are building a world-class platform to amplify our teams’ most powerful ideas.

Join a research team where curiosity meets scale. You will investigate foundational questions, uncover market insights, and push the boundaries of what’s possible—all supported by near-limitless compute and world-class peers.

The Role

• 10-week summer programme (21st June to 27th August 2027)
• 09:00–17:30 working hours
• Based in Central London

Over the 10 weeks, G-Research Summer Research Programme interns gain a unique insight into life as a Natural Language Processing (NLP) practitioner at a leading quantitative research firm.

Our full-time NLP researchers use a wide range of tools and techniques in an applied setting, putting their expertise to use in direct, production-ready applications with immediate results. They have access to vast computing resources and are limited only by their imagination.

As an NLP intern, you will work on a meaningful and challenging research project that requires the application of innovative yet pragmatic mathematical and computational analysis.

You will be paired with a mentor who will supervise your work and provide ongoing feedback. You will also have access to senior staff who are leaders in their fields. The internship will culminate in a final presentation of your research ideas to senior management.

Taking part in G-Research’s Summer Internship Programme provides an in-depth insight into our academic approach to quantitative finance. You will also have the opportunity to explore London and get to know your fellow interns and colleagues through a full itinerary of social events.

Top performers on the programme will be considered for full-time opportunities on completion of their studies.

Who Are We Looking For?

The ideal candidate will have the following skills and experience:

• A post-graduate degree in Natural Language Processing or a related discipline, or equivalent commercial experience developing novel machine learning algorithms. Exceptional candidates with a strong track record in data science competitions, such as Kaggle, will also be considered. PhD preferred.
• Experience working with large-scale, noisy text datasets and building models for information extraction, sentiment analysis, or semantic understanding.
• Strong Python programming skills, with experience using modern machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Publications at leading NLP or machine learning conferences, such as ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, NeurIPS, or ICML, are advantageous.
• Strong mathematical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to develop novel models where standard approaches are insufficient.
• Previous experience in finance is not required, but an interest in finance and a willingness to learn are essential.

Why Should You Apply?

• Highly competitive compensation plus accommodation
• G-Research community with weekly intern activities
• Lunch provided (via Just Eat for Business) and dedicated barista bar
