Our platform is designed for today's complex, global market, fully integrated with central clearing houses and exchanges to support billions in trading volume per day.

We're a team of highly-skilled product and engineering talent combined with seasoned finance professionals, building the essentials to compete in today's fast-paced markets.

The Role

We're seeking one or more Industrial PhD candidates to do research in financial risk leveraging AI.

The full program will be 5 years, with 80% of the time dedicated to research and 20% of the time working with Clear Street.

You'll be employed by Clear Street but the studies will be done at the university, with both a university PhD advisor and an industrial PhD advisor.

We're exploring financing opportunities through The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program, a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education, and faculty recruitment.

Research Areas
  • Risk: How can AI provide better risk management and avoid individual and institutional failures?
  • Execution: How can AI more effectively execute orders into a market to obtain the best price possible?
  • Funding: How can we leverage AI to optimize the firm's use of cash and collateral?
  • Hedging: How can AI construct and manage hedges to avoid unwanted portfolio risk?
  • Investment: How can AI be used to construct and manage a portfolio to achieve a specific goal?
What We Offer
  • The opportunity to join a small and growing team of good people, where you can make a difference.
  • A chance to apply the results and findings of the PhD studies in real-world scenarios.
