No published policyQuantitative Research Intern (Summer 2027)

Unconfirmed. Synthesis publishes no sponsorship policy for its quantitative research intern, so we cannot state a firm answer. Synthesis is a quantitative investment company focused on statistical arbitrage in equity markets. The Summer 2027 internship is a 10 week programme in London, on site, working on a structured data-driven research project with ML and LLM tools. It is open to undergraduates expected to complete a quantitative or STEM degree in 2027. The advert says nothing about visas or sponsorship, and the firm has offices in New York and London.
