The Grantham Institute is funding three paid internships focused on algae research, due to a donation for work in this area. The work will be with one of the companies that completed The Greenhouse accelerator programme, based at Undaunted. Please see the attached for further info. To note, the deadline to apply is Sunday 12 October.

The Research Computing and Data Science team are in the process of commissioning and collating a series of exemplar programming projects known as ReCoDE. These projects are designed to demonstrate good programming practice in research to help other students learn by example and include extensive annotation to explain their function and the design choices made.
We generally welcome any submission, but we are looking to commission a particular submission in the form of a LaTeX template for an Imperial doctoral thesis. This template should match all of Imperial’s thesis requirements and should not be overly complicated, such that a relatively inexperienced LaTeX user would have the background to understand it. The basic skeleton of the thesis and the formatting required to meet Imperial’s requirements should be the focus, but other useful pieces of LaTeX may also be demonstrated. This template does not need extensive research content, but could include some if it helps to demonstrate the formatting tools used.
If you are interested in working on this exemplar, more information on contributing can be found here. Click on the “Pitch an exemplar here” button at the bottom of that page to submit a proposal. The next round of exemplars will be selected in the autumn, and we will review all proposals before reaching out to selected applicants to complete the exemplar over three months in the autumn term.
Authors of exemplar are paid as GTAs (or Casual Workers) for 45 hours of work at a rate of £35.78/hour, including holiday pay.
Options Group is hiring in for an important hedge fund client who manage >$10bn in aum. The client is looking to speak with entry level PhDs or Postdocs focusing on Machine Learning/AI, Math, Stats, Physics, Computer Science for various quant research roles based in London. Additionally, about the client’s search:
They are looking for exceptional generalists—either applied researchers or theorists with some coding experience. Historically, statisticians have been the most common hires, but last year they hired more pure math candidates than any other background. They’ve also brought on people with publications in machine learning journals and active GitHub profiles. Their hires include computer scientists, including those focused on theoretical CS. One of their Partners in London, for example, comes from a theoretical physics background..
Interested parties can contact Keith Macksoud (Options Group, Executive Director) immediately with a CV.
