Job of The Week: Stat Arb Trader

Posted by John Carney, Jul 25, 2008, 3:01pm

It's Friday afternoon. Do you know where your CEO is? With banks and brokerages crashing all around us, and each weekend becoming a suspenseful death watch for financial institutions teetering on the edge, maybe it's time you started looking for a new job. We spent part of the afternoon combing through our Career Center in search of the most interesting jobs. There are dozens to choose from, all categorized according to specialization. Today's job is one for the quants.

A hedge fund here in New York City is looking for an experienced Statistical Arbitrage Trader/Quant. You should have at least two years experience in a similar role with a financial institution or another hedge fund. A graduate degree with a significant background in quantitative equity research designing and back testing trading strategies is a must.
