Please only apply for one internship position, choosing the role that best matches your skills and interests. We'll consider your application across all of our research opportunities where appropriate.
We tackle the most complex problems in quantitative finance, by bringing scientific clarity to financial complexity.
From our London HQ, we unite world-class researchers and engineers in an environment that values deep exploration and methodical execution - because the best ideas take time to evolve. Together we’re building a world-class platform to amplify our teams’ most powerful ideas.
Join a research team where curiosity meets scale. You’ll investigate foundational questions, uncover market insights and push the boundaries of what's possible - all with the support of near-limitless compute and world-class peers.
Take the next step in your career.
The role
- 10-week summer programme (21st June to 27th August 2027)
- 09:00-17:30 working hours
- Based in Central London
Over the course of 10 weeks, G-Research Summer Research Programme interns gain a unique insight into life as a Natural Language Processing (NLP) practitioner at a leading quantitative research firm.
Our full-time NLP researchers use a wide range of tools and techniques in an applied setting, putting their expertise to use in direct, production-ready applications with immediate results. They have access to vast computing resources and are limited only by their imagination.
As an NLP intern, you will have the opportunity to experience this, working on a meaningful and challenging research project that demands the application of innovative yet pragmatic mathematical and computational analysis.
You will be paired with a mentor who will supervise your work and provide ongoing feedback to help you improve and develop, as well as access to senior staff who are leaders in their fields. Your internship will culminate in a final presentation of your research ideas to senior management.
Taking part in G-Research's Summer Internship Programme will give you an in-depth insight into our academic approach to quantitative finance. You will also have the opportunity to explore London and get to know your fellow interns and colleagues through a full itinerary of social events.
Top performers on the programme will be considered for full-time opportunities on completion of their studies.
Who are we looking for?
