Dear all,
I am reaching out to you because at ARPM (the company for which I work) we are looking to add new resources for our Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management program.

Thank you,

The firm
ARPM – Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management is
a privately held research institution, directed by Attilio Meucci,
based in New York City with virtual offices world-wide. ARPM’s mission
is to set and disseminate the standards for advanced quantitative risk
management and portfolio management across the financial industry: asset
management, banking, and insurance.
The opportunity
ARPM is looking for a new researcher-in-training for a minimum period of 6 months, indefinitely extensible. The successful candidate will review and code practical case studies and theoretical examples in quantitative finance, contributing to the ARPM Lab. The successful candidate will work full-time, remotely, constantly communicating via multi-media with the other members of ARPM.
The ARPM researcher-in-training position represents a great opportunity for candidates with strong academic background, who wish to apply to real problems in finance the rigorous, research-oriented approach acquired in their schooling.
The progression
ARPM emphasizes the constant intellectual growth of its resources. For the first 6 months the researcher-in- training will be focused on specific projects. At the end of this period (s)he will conduct a presentation on the topics covered.
Then, (s)he will start broadening his/her scope, attending the presentations of their peers and seniors, working on broader projects, and acquiring hands-on- knowledge of all the topics of the ARPM Lab. The approximate time required to attain the required level of familiarity with the ARPM Lab is: two years for a recent master’s graduate; one year for a recent PhD graduate.
When ready, the researcher-in-training will be tested on all such topics with an exam. If successful, (s)he will conclude his/her training period, attaining the title of ARPM researcher. The ARPM researcher will then engage in highly quantitative projects with ARPM clients, becoming a profit center.
The candidate
Master’s degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, statistics, data science, quantitative economics.
PhD in hard sciences or master’s degree in quantitative finance is a plus.
