Quantitative opportunities
For candidates seeking quantitative roles, we look for bachelor's, master's, or Ph.D. degrees in finance, economics or econometrics, accounting, mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering (predominantly electrical and mechanical engineering, or operations research), and computer science. We also consider talented candidates from other disciplines who possess strong quantitative abilities.

Working in a quantitative role at Nomura combines the challenge of cutting-edge research with the excitement of seeing your results put to use. At Nomura, you will find many similarities with the academic world, including a culture of creativity, a respect for intellectual achievement and a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

We look for a specific skill that can be used more or less immediately within a particular facet of our quantitative business. Common examples are proficiency in statistical estimation and data analysis, understanding of derivatives models, knowledge of stochastic processes, and ability to program. It is not necessary to have all of these, but it is important to have some.

Candidates should submit applications at the Analyst level and select Equities or Fixed income. The final entry level will be considered case by case, which will be dependent on your experience.

Application Deadlines
The dates below are final deadlines, but we do review applications on a rolling basis. We therefore advise that you apply as soon as possible.
