My friend works for this company, http://www.firstderivatives.com/ which has recently been ranked in the top ten employers to work for list in the Telegraph, and he said if anyone was interested in applying he would be happy to review their resume and secure them an interview.

“We're always recruiting developers and IT people and mathematicians and now have a new program called Explorers, which is very mobile, detailed below:

This program will offer specific Global Business Development and Global Marketing opportunities for elite graduate talent. We are seeking candidates who are looking to fast track their careers in sales, business development and marketing by becoming part of a global team driving the use of our technology in capital markets and other industries, such as Pharma, Utilities, IOT, Retail and Manufacturing. We are keen to attract entrepreneurial high achievers, and graduates from a broad range of degree backgrounds. We are looking for enthusiasm and raw talent, so previous experience whilst attractive, is not essential.
A key facet of Explorers, is the potential to travel globally. Successful candidates will spend circa 3-6 months at HQ, working closely with our CEO and other senior management, gaining an understanding of the intricacies of our technology, our business model and our target markets. Then, based on performance, they will have the opportunity to be deployed in a major city in a Business Development capacity, with the autonomy of building a pipeline , building the Kx community and connecting with grassroots developers to promote interest in our technology.
· They will engage with start ups, universities, industry bodies, development agencies, other technology interest groups, potential customers and existing customers
· We are looking to deploy people in places such as Sydney, San Francisco, Sao Paolo, Seoul, Shanghai, Mumbai, Madrid, Mexico City, Tokyo, Craigavon, Berlin and Austin.
· The candidates will be exposed to a wide range of activities such as M+A origination, social media strategy, digital marketing, technology marketing, new market entry planning and execution and SEO.

Ethics Facilitator Training

The Graduate and Advanced Studies in collaboration with the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth developed an institution-wide program of training in the basics of professional ethics for first year graduate students. The Graduate Ethics Program has three components: an opening session during orientation, four small group discussions on focal topics to be taken fall term of the first year of graduate school, and an online ethics survey.

For the second phase of the Ethics program, Aine Donovan, Executive Director of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth College offers a four-part ethics training session focusing on key ethical issues to train future Ethics Facilitators.

Graduate students, postdocs, administrators, and faculty who attend the sessions will gain skills in case style teaching methods and develop a framework for thinking about ethical issues that occur in research. Those who attend the training sessions will then facilitate four ethics workshops for a small group of first year students in the fall of 2017. Trainers will receive $50 per facilitated session.

If you are interested in the Training for Trainers please email Kerry Landers a brief statement of interest in teaching ethics and a copy of your cv/resume by Jan 16. Also, please sign-up on libcal at http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/2897471

Trainers are expected to attend all the workshops listed below for the 2017 winter term.
