ABOUT CLEAR STREET:

Clear Street is modernizing the brokerage ecosystem. Founded in 2018, Clear Street is a diversified financial services firm replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets.
We started from scratch by building a completely cloud-native clearing and custody system designed for today’s complex, global market. Our platform is fully integrated with central clearing houses and exchanges to support billions in trading volume per day. We’ve agonized about our data model abstractions, created horizontal scalability, and crafted thoughtful APIs. All so we can provide a best-in-class experience for our clients.
By combining highly-skilled product and engineering talent with seasoned finance professionals, we’re building the essentials to compete in today’s fast-paced markets.

Clear Street is looking to hire one or more Industrial PhD candidates to do research in financial risk leveraging AI.
The full program will be 5 years with 80% of the time dedicated to research and 20% of the time working with Clear Street. You will be employed by Clear Street but the studies will be done at the university, and the matching department. There will be both a university PhD advisor and an industrial PhD advisor.
We are looking at seeking financing from The Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program. WASP is a major national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment. It is the largest individual research program in Sweden.
