Job Description
Machine Learning Researcher (PhD) – Systematic Commodities Hedge Fund
Moreton Capital Partners is seeking a Machine Learning Researcher to help design and improve the predictive models that power our systematic commodities trading strategies.
We trade global commodity futures using machine learning, alternative data, and institutional-grade portfolio construction. Our edge comes from research depth, disciplined experimentation, and robust production systems.
This role is for candidates completing or having recently completed a PhD with a strong machine learning, statistics, or applied mathematics focus who want to apply advanced research in a real capital environment.
You will work directly with the CIO and quant research team to turn cutting-edge ML ideas into live trading signals.
This is not a purely academic role.
Your research will ship to production and directly impact portfolio returns.
