Systematic Hedge Funds, London

Hello everyone,I am looking for openings in quantitative hedge funds in London. I believe that my qualifications (MEng in Computer Science + MSc & PhD in Applied Mathematics, all from top French institutions) may interest an alternative asset manager that develops systematic trading approaches. However, hedge funds are pretty secrative and getting a first contact is not easy. For instance I'm interested in firms like Aspect Capital and Marshall Wace, but I don't even know to whom I have to send a mail.Is there anyone here who works in this field and could give me some information or contact details ?Thank you in advance.

Why are you focusing on HFs and not including banks ?

DCFC, I'm of course also interested by banks. The fact is that :i) it's far easier to get information about banks, which are huge companies with very complete websites, whereas some hedge funds don't have any websites or don't provide any details about careers opportunities.ii) I know some people working in banks, but I have a very few contacts in the field of quantitative alternative fund management.That's why I inquire some information about hedge funds.

try recrutiment@XXXXXXother names to look at:wintongsabluetrendglcamplitudeharmonicthere are also quite a few in the quant equity arena, but probably less suitable to your background.
