Machine Learning Researcher

The D. E. Shaw group seeks a machine learning researcher to conduct quantitative research using modern machine learning (ML) techniques. In this role, the researcher will develop and evaluate novel modeling approaches and explore how advances in ML can be applied to complex problems in systematic investing, with the opportunity to own research from initial hypothesis through implementation. The role combines deep ML and quantitative research with strong technical execution, including solving computational challenges when necessary to pursue ambitious research efficiently and at scale.
