Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Researchers with strong analytical and quantitative skills are in demand across the finance sector. Roles in quantitative research, software development, and strategic analysis often draw directly on the methods, coding, problem-solving, and rigour developed through academic research.
In this panel, professionals from quantitative finance will share insights into the day-to-day realities of their work and what they look for in candidates with research backgrounds. You’ll explore how academic skills translate into finance, how to position your experience for these roles, and what to expect from recruitment processes, including technical interviews and assessments.
This event is part of:
