OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

From Academia to Quantitative Finance
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.
