exceptional individuals who possess a postgraduate degree in a
quantitative discipline for permanent positions in our London-based AHL
Research group.

robust and rigorous research underpinning the trading models and thus
this role provides the opportunity to directly contribute to the future

research culture enhanced by links with the Oxford-Man Institute of
Quantitative Finance. We also offer an attractive salary and bonus
scheme together with a flexible benefits package.
