Quantitative Systematic Trading Internship: Summer 2027

About the role

This 10-week Dublin internship combines quantitative research, technology, and trading. Interns identify trading signals, develop strategies, analyse large datasets, and work on algorithmic trading projects. The programme includes structured education, hands-on modelling, strategy implementation, and trading simulations, with potential progression to a full-time graduate programme.

Responsibilities

• Identify trading signals and develop systematic trading strategies using quantitative research and technological tools.
• Process and analyse large datasets to investigate questions, identify patterns, and support mathematical modelling.
• Work on a real-world algorithmic trading problem involving proprietary dataspaces and novel modelling approaches.
• Collaborate with trading, quantitative research, and technology teams on project work and trading simulations.

Training and Development

• Attend classes covering options pricing, machine learning, data analysis techniques, game theory, and trading topics.
• Gain practical experience through hands-on project work, strategy implementation, and various trading simulations.
• Work with colleagues who share interests in mathematics, problem-solving, game theory, and technology.
• Successful interns may be invited to join the full-time graduate programme, subject to availability.

Candidate Profile

• Applicants should be research-minded and interested in building mathematical models to reveal patterns in extensive datasets.
• Applicants should have experience writing code to process and analyse large datasets.
• Clear communication, relationship-building, idea-sharing, active listening, and ambition are valued qualities.
• Applicants must be PhD or research master’s students in the penultimate year of quantitative study.

Practical Information

• The internship is based in Dublin, Ireland, and applicants must be legally eligible to work in Ireland.
• The programme runs for 10 weeks, from late June to late August.
• Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with limited places available for the 2027 internship.
• Accommodation is provided for interns joining from outside Dublin for the internship duration.
• Interns receive onsite catering, weekly social events, and access to an in-house gym and games room.
