City Jobs For Economics/Technical Postgrads

With the credit crunch, you would be forgiven for thinking that all the investment institutions would have stopped recruiting – but it doesn’t look like it. I recently found an unusual source of loads of jobs for financial institutions, including those based in London, on a US website called phds.org (originally set up by an academic for his department).

It looks like it’s being well used by recruitment consultants who are searching for postgrads, mainly PhDs, but some mention of Masters (plus experience), particularly for quantitative jobs in finance. When I checked today, there were 94 jobs listed for “London, Greater London, UK” in Quantitative Finance – here’s the direct link.

And for the Pathways event, looks like UBS are keen to attend again, so don’t discount financial markets, whatever interest rates are doing.
