Apply — Smith Investment Fund

Interested in joining Smith Investment Fund?

Here is the Zoom link for the Quantitative Team's Office Hours on Friday, September 20 from 4-5pm. Feel free to come with questions about anything!

Q: Can I apply to both teams? A: You are welcome to apply to both teams, but you may only be accepted to one, so we encourage you to help us make that decision by only applying for the one you are most interested in.
Q: What style resume? A: We do not have a specific resume template that you must follow, however, if you are looking for one, we recommend the Smith resume template found here
Q: When are applications open? A: Applications open at the beginning of the fall semester and close mid-September. Please join our mailing list to get information about application timelines.

Q: What is the difference between research and infrastructure? A: The research team is more focused on data science, machine learning, and applying ideas from quantitative finance theory to generate novel trading strategies. In contrast, the infrastructure team focuses more on software development/engineering as the team builds software to support these research efforts, and maintains a robust and stable live trading system for our algorithmic strategies.
Q: What are you looking for in applicants? A: The quantitative team does not look for students with the most past experience or skills, but rather selects students that are highly motivated and passionate for learning about quantitative finance and data science. During the application review process, we look for candidate commitment, fit, and technical interest.
Q: What types of projects do the research and infrastructure teams work on? A: Please see our blog posts for recent developments from our research and infrastructure teams.
