Do you want to understand what drives the stock markets? Are you excited by the prospect of working in diverse teams with a broad range of skillsets? Does your head turn if someone asks, "Now how might we take this hypothesis to data?" Is research more fun for you when there is money on the line?

You will be a pioneer, helping to establish the next frontier of sell-side equity research.Your expertise
