 Vacancies – Wuhan

 Economist

To apply for an Economist role, you must have or be about to receive an MSc in economics or finance. Acting as a core member in research teams, you are expected to have deep understanding of economic and financial theories and possess advanced modeling skills. Technical knowledge in labour economics, financial modelling and applied econometrics are especially desirable.

 Analyst

Applications are welcomed from those with either an economics, accountancy or statistics background for the Analyst positions. Candidates must have strong writing and analytical skill and a relevant undergraduate degree. Relevant work experience and proficiency with econometric software (e.g. Stata) are highly desirable.

 Quantitative Analysts

Working as a Quantitative Analyst, you will be focusing on the development of financial models and risk infrastructure, designing innovative tools for rapid model deployment and producing complex components for high performance computing applications. Working as part of a global team you will work on innovative models and sophisticated analytical systems. The ideal candidates will typically hold an advanced Computer Science, Engineering or Maths degree to Masters or PhD level or equivalent from a leading institution and will be an expert programmer with strong algorithm design skills. You will need strong C++/VBA skills, ideally VC++ with strong STL/ATL or COM skills. Ideally but not essentially you will have experience of programming in STATA (statistics package), Scilab (similar as MATLAB), SQL, FORTRAN, HTML, XML/XSL. Any experience in quantitative development/analytics deployment would be desirable but strong C++ developers holding Bachelor degree with good academic profile are considered. It is great opportunity for a program developer looking to move into financial modelling or analytical/Quant development role.

(Successful applicants will be offered full support to study Master of Science in Financial Engineering (part-time) awarded by National University of Singapore.)
