The EPSRC CDT in Mathematics of Random Systems: Analysis, Modelling and Algorithms is a partnership between three world-class departments in the area of probabilistic modelling, stochastic analysis and their applications, the Oxford Mathematical Institute, the Oxford Department of Statistics and the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, with the ambition of training the next generation of academic and industry experts in stochastic modelling, advanced computational methods and Data Science.

The CDT offers a fully funded 4-year comprehensive training programme at the frontier of scientific research in Probability, Stochastic Analysis, Stochastic Modelling, stochastic computational methods and applications in physics, finance, biology, healthcare and data science.

Students receive solid training in core skills related to probability theory, stochastic modelling, data analysis, stochastic simulation, optimal control and probabilistic algorithms. In the first year, students follow four Core courses on Foundation areas as well as three elective courses, and undertake a supervised  research project, which then evolves into a PhD thesis.

The Quantitative Investment Strategies group at Goldman Sachs is looking for current juniors to apply for a summer analyst position within our client-facing team at our NYC headquarters. This team offers a great opportunity for those who have a passion for quantitative, analytical or programming challenges, but also want to be client-facing and gain a deep understanding of investing with a quantitative methodology.

To give you an idea of our work, I split my time approximately evenly between the following three areas: programming (primarily data analytics and visualization, along with systems for analyzing investment portfolios), prepping for and meeting with our clients (both prospective and existing, some typical finance analyst work in Powerpoint/Excels), and producing analysis and research on our quantitative strategies. However, our team has many diverse skillsets and members will spend different amounts of time on various aspects of the role depending on their unique strengths. I’ve included further information on the team in the attached document.

If this sounds interesting to you, please send your resume as well as a brief description on why you think this role is appealing to Matthijs Dijkgraaf (Matthijs.Dijkgraaf@gs.com) and copy me (Natalie.kennelley@gs.com). We are open to a broad variety of backgrounds and previous work experiences, so do not feel discouraged if you do not have a finance background. Members of our team have come from many academic backgrounds including math, physics, chemical, computer and mechanical engineering as well as math-track economics and computer science.
