WEBSIM™ RESEARCH CONSULTANTS
WorldQuant has established a Research Consultant program for qualified individuals to work with our web-based simulation platform, WebSim. This program gives consultants the flexibility to create alphas in their own physical and intellectual environment. This is a particularly ideal pursuit for individuals who are undertaking college education as well as those who are ambitious and highly interested in breaking into the financial industry.
Qualified candidates are those highly quantitative individuals who typically come from STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) programs. Actual majors and expertise vary and may include Statistics, Financial Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, Finance, Physics, or other various STEM programs.
You can find more details on WebSim™ in Part IV of this book. Full Research Consultant program information is also available at WebSim's™ official website.
