Your IMC journey as a Graduate Quantitative Researcher begins with a six-week Global Trainee Programme led by our seasoned engineers and traders alongside graduates from all three IMC regions: Europe, the United States, and Asia-Pacific. During this traineeship, you will deepen your knowledge about trading and financial markets, IMC’s trading strategies, and our proprietary trading systems. Your training will continue back at your local office, where you’ll receive support from your dedicated mentor, an experienced quant researcher at IMC. Following the programme, you will join a team of quantitative researchers, where you’ll play a key role in exploring and shaping strategies in global markets. You’ll receive recognition for your ideas and successes every step of the way.

- Experience in a programming language (e.g. Python, Matlab or C++)
- First-class quantitative and analytical skills, with excellent attention to detail
- A genuine interest in financial markets (no prior knowledge or experience is required)
Due to current U.S. immigration and visa restrictions, some candidates may not be eligible to obtain the U.S. business visa required as part of our Global Traineeship Programme. As the programme includes mandatory training in the United States shortly after joining, we are unfortunately unable to proceed with applications from candidates who are unable to obtain the required visa within the programme timeline.
If you are a dual passport holder of another nationality or a European citizen who wants to relocate back to Europe, you remain welcome to apply and should inform our campus recruitment team of your situation: CampusEU@imc.com.
