G-Research

Founded in 2001, G-Research is a privately held quantitative finance research and technology firm headquartered in London, with an additional office in Dallas. It combines quantitative research, machine learning, software engineering and infrastructure to identify patterns in large datasets and develop models for financial markets.

Its strongest capability is the integration of research and engineering: teams work on statistical modelling, machine learning, high-performance computing and the platforms needed to run large-scale experiments. The firm also has a substantial engineering organisation, including more than 500 engineers, according to its work-experience programme materials.

For students, G-Research offers quantitative-research, machine-learning, engineering and corporate placements. The core research and engineering tracks are highly technical and typically target postgraduate-level candidates in subjects such as mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, engineering or machine learning; MiM students are more likely to fit corporate placements unless they also have substantial quantitative or programming training.
