Position description

The Associate will perform research on Risk-related and Hedging issues for Equity Long-Short Portfolios, working in a small, analytically sophisticated department. The objective is to improve the methods of measuring market, event and liquidity risk, ultimately to improve portfolio performance. The work will involve developing and refining risk-related models and their associated products.

C++ is used for analytics not development; VB is a plus, not required.The arena is Equities and is described by the MD as prosaic linear factoring models for Equities and doing regression analysis - someone who "teases" the analysis out of the data. The Firm doesn't want someone who is using only hi-powered methods because it is believed that the candidate subsequently loses the insight needed. He does like optimization methods, simulated annealing or genetic algorithms, but with the right person , this can be learned.

This position reports to an MD who has their Ph.D from MIT, and has a very friendly mentor/teacher style. The MD was with Morgan Stanley for 10 years, 4 years with Salomon SmithBarney as their MD in charge of Risk Management. This is a very nurturing, collaborative environment.
