Role Description qSpark is looking for a quantitative researcher with a genuine edge in signal research and market microstructure to join our team. This role demands someone who ships research into live strategies and is laser-focused on strategies that achieve high Sharpe in production. - Research, develop, and continuously improve quantitative trading signals across HFT and near-HFT timeframes, with a relentless focus on high Sharpe, deployable strategies. - Design and run rigorous backtests that honestly account for microstructure: spread costs, venue behavior, print filtering, adverse selection, and realistic fill modeling — with the explicit goal of performance that holds up in production, not just on paper. - Collaborate closely with portfolio managers and developers to bring validated research into production and improve live strategies. - Analyze live performance regularly — decompose P&L, identify regime shifts, attribute slippage — and feed findings back into active research. - Take on increasing levels of research leadership over time, including mentoring and setting the direction for research cycles. Qualifications - 2+ years of hands-on quantitative research or strategy development in an electronic trading environment, with demonstrated ability to produce high Sharpe strategies that survive live deployment. - Strong applied statistics: Performance estimation, overfitting stress-tests, non-stationarity, and test design under real market constraints. - Fluent in Python for research; C++ familiarity a genuine advantage. - Solid knowledge of market microstructure: TAQ data interpretation, venue differences, short-term price dynamics. - Track record of taking research across the line into live production — not just exploring. - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Computational Finance, or a related quantitative field.

Senior Burkina Faso Country Researcher Remote Contract OverviewApplication Description The Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) is an independent organisation dedicated to exposing human rights violations and threats to democracy. We achieve this through open source research, digital investigations, capacity-building with local partners, and collaboration with media to amplify our impact. CIR was born out of a determination to expose those spreading harm – online and offline – around the world, particularly in areas of violent conflict, such as Ukraine, Sudan and Myanmar. Our projects are at the forefront of efforts to investigate and document human rights abuses, war crimes, harms targeting women and minorities, and influence operations. We work closely with multilateral and national justice accountability bodies. Contract Type: Contractor Contract length: 3 months, with the possibility of extension up to 12 months. Hours needed: Full time - 5 days a week at 8 hours a day. Location: Remote. Languages: You must be able to speak and write English and French. About the Role The Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) is recruiting a senior researcher and expert on Burkina Faso. The role is open to candidates based inside Burkina Faso or in the regional/international diaspora, working securely and remotely where field presence is not feasible. CIR requires the support of a Burkina Faso expert with a deep understanding of the Sahelian and West African context to conduct media, social media, and (where safe) field research. Requirements Main responsibilities - Conduct media, social media, and (where safe) field research in Burkina Faso. - Analyse and synthesise gathered information and identify links between key pieces of evidence, distinguishing verifiable findings from analytical judgement. - Conduct key informant interviews — remotely or in person — to deepen understanding of key research questions. - Deliver comprehensive, well-sourced reports highlighting key information, links, patterns, and risks. - Manage a team of researchers. Experience needed: - Strong, current understanding of the Burkinabè political, security, religious, and information landscape, including the dynamics of the transition. - Demonstrated familiarity with the principal armed groups and influence actors affecting the information space. - Excellent investigative skills and a curious, sceptical mind. - Ability to operate in a logical, methodical, evidence-led manner with strong attention to detail and rigorous sourcing. - Analytical ability to identify links and connections using contextual information, and to explicitly flag uncertainty. - Strong operational security awareness and discretion, given the sensitivity of the subject matter and the constraints of the press and research environment. - Experience managing a diverse team. Desired Skills - Fluency in one or more of Burkina Faso's local languages. - Knowledge or experience scanning and reporting on social media activity across Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and TikTok — the platforms that dominate the Burkinabè information ecosystem. - Knowledge or experience in approaches to building resilience to disinformation and harmful influence. - Familiarity with open-source research methods. - Experience in remote management or on remotely managed programs
