Student employee for Gas Modelling & Data

Your primary focus will be developing and implementing advanced mathematical models to generate insights used by the trading floor.

Concretely, your responsibilities include:

• designing and implementing mathematical models in code to forecast key market signals that drive price movements

• applying machine learning and statistical techniques to improve predictive accuracy and uncover hidden patterns
• developing models for pricing options and other derivatives, leveraging concepts from stochastic calculus and quantitative finance
• translating complex results into clear, actionable insights through concise explanations and visualizations

You will join our Gas Modelling & Data team, whose mission is to provide traders with robust analysis and tools for informed decision-making. We tackle complex problems using advanced mathematics, data science, and quantitative research methods.

We are a team of five specialists with diverse backgrounds in mathematics, physics, and finance. We value curiosity, precision, and creativity in solving difficult problems with real-world impact.

We are looking for two students to join our team.

As you will be working with mathematical models and data in a complex domain, we imagine you as a creative and analytical thinker who enjoys tackling challenging problems, turning theory into practice and paying great attention to detail.

We also imagine that you:

• are studying Mathematics, Financial Mathematics, Physics, Data Science, or a related field
• have experience in data analysis and programming (e.g. Python or SQL) – or are eager to learn
• are comfortable with statistics, probability theory, and machine learning. Exposure to stochastic calculus is welcome
• can work approximately 10–15 hours per week
• are fluent in English – both written and spoken

Please note that prior knowledge of the energy sector is not required for this role.
