Quant Research Internship

G-Research Summer Research Programme (10-Week Summer Internship) — Quantitative Research

We tackle 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.

In this 10-week programme, you will join a research team where curiosity meets scale. You will investigate foundational questions, uncover market insights, and push the boundaries of what’s possible, supported by near-limitless compute and world-class peers.

The role

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

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

You will be given a meaningful and challenging research project that demands 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 and use them to predict future dynamics.

Your project may involve a wide range of techniques, including mathematical modelling, deep learning, optimisation, and machine learning, in a practical and challenging context. Additional work may include implementing back-testing frameworks to ensure signal robustness, or creating a pipeline to construct and simulate the performance of a portfolio derived from various input signals.

Throughout the internship, you will collaborate closely with a Quantitative Researcher who will mentor you as you complete your independent project. You will receive structured feedback and reviews to help you improve and develop, culminating 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 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.
