Quantitative Analyst

The D. E. Shaw group, a global investment and technology development firm 
with approximately US $30 billion in aggregate investment capital, is 
looking for exceptionally talented quantitative analysts.  "Quants" at the 
D. E. Shaw group apply mathematical techniques and write software to 
develop and analyze statistical models for our computerized financial 
trading strategies.  Specific responsibilities range from examining 
trading data in an effort to increase profitability, decrease risk, and 
reduce transaction costs to conceiving new trading ideas and devising the 
simulations needed to test them.  Successful quant candidates have 
traditionally been the top students in their respective math, physics, 
engineering, and computer science programs; a considerable number have 
also competed successfully in the United States and International Math 
Olympiads as well as the Putnam Competition.  To apply, e-mail your resume 
and a cover letter to CanMS-Quant at career.deshaw.com.

Members of the D. E. Shaw group do not discriminate in employment matters 
on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, pregnancy, national origin,
