I run the (small) quantiative research department at a trading company in New York City, called Jane St. Capital. We do some technically very challenging work in analyzing and improving trading strategies used by the firm. It's an open and informal environment, and one that I've personally felt very comfortable moving to from academia. We're looking to fill one or two assistant researcher positions. All of our research code is written in ocaml, and so experience in ocaml is a plus. Here's the kind of skills I'm looking for: - Strong unix/linux skills --- I'm looking for someone who knows their way around the standard unix tools, can write a makefile, is comfortable with shell scripts, etc. We've got a small beowulf cluster for doing more compute-intensive work, and administering that would be part of the job's responsibilities. - A well-rounded computer science background. Familiarity with ideas from optimization, learning theory, NLP, and algorithms, is something we're looking for. - As part of the well-rounded CS background, we want someone with a strong background in programming languages other than ocaml, in particular C and Java/C#. - One of the positions we're looking to fill will involve taking a big role in testing some of the (non-ocaml) in-house software that is developed here. We're not talking about bang-on-the-GUI-type testing. We want someone with good judgment and the ability to write and think carefully about code. The testing work will involve building testing systems including testing harnesses, simulators and validation code. Some of this coding will be done in ocaml, some in other languages such as C#. We are mostly thinking about these as entry-level positions, but we are also considering more experienced candidates. If you're interested (or have any students you think might be a good match), please send a cover-letter and resume to: recruiter3@janestcapital.com Yaron Minsky |--------/ Yaron M.
