Please only apply for one internship position, choosing the role that best matches your skills and interests. We'll consider your application across all of our research opportunities where appropriate.
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 - because the best ideas take time to evolve. Together we’re building a world-class platform to amplify our teams’ most powerful ideas.
Join a research team where curiosity meets scale. You’ll investigate foundational questions, uncover market insights and push the boundaries of what's possible - all with the support of near-limitless compute and world-class peers.
Take the next step in your career.
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 a 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 these to predict future dynamics.
Your project will give you the opportunity to use a wide range of techniques in areas such as mathematical modelling, deep learning, optimisation and machine learning in a practical and challenging context. Additional work may involve the implementation of back-testing frameworks to ensure signal robustness or the creation of a pipeline which constructs and simulates 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 to improve and develop, culminating in a final presentation of your research ideas to senior management.
Taking part in G-Research's Summer Internship Programme will give you 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 internship will be considered for full-time opportunities on completion of their studies.
