The successful candidate will teach courses ranging from Arithmetic through Quantitative Reasoning. Faculty members in the department teach students to understand and appreciate the relevance of mathematics in daily life as well as prepare them for future mathematics and other courses. They will cultivate a student-centered learning environment to help students succeed.
Additional responsibilities include designing course materials and preparing instructional content; assessing student learning; self-assessing teaching results and applying results to improve courses, curriculum, and instructional effectiveness.
Non-tenure-track lecturer positions require 15 hours of teaching for both Fall and Spring semesters. The ideal candidate will demonstrate a commitment to engage in professional development and to collaborate with faculty, staff, and students in support of the university’s mission and values.
UVU is a large public university with over 40,000 students. UVU is located in Orem, UT about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City.

Tips for Your Quantitative Job Search
Tailor your resume to model type
Hiring managers in quantitative roles distinguish between statistical modelers, algorithmic traders, and risk quants. Reframe your bullet points to match the model type in each posting rather than listing every technique you know.
Show your code, not just results
Most quantitative teams expect a GitHub repository or code sample before the first call. Include at least one well-documented project in Python or R that demonstrates your end-to-end workflow, from data cleaning through backtesting or inference.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists quantitative openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target firms by their model stack
Hedge funds, prop trading firms, and insurance carriers each run different model architectures. Research the firm's public papers, blog posts, or job posting language to match your application vocabulary to the tools they actually use.
Prepare for two separate interview tracks
Most quantitative interviews split into a technical screen covering probability, statistics, and coding, and a separate business-logic round. Practice both tracks independently so a weak day on one doesn't cost you the other.
Negotiate using comp benchmarks, not guesses
Base salary, signing bonus, and performance allocation vary widely across firm types. Pull compensation data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and industry surveys before your offer call so your counter is grounded in verifiable benchmarks.
Quantitative Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most quantitatives?
The companies hiring the most quantitatives right now include Two Sigma, Goldman Sachs, and Trexquant Investment LP, with the largest share of openings in New York, Illinois, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is highest at firms with active trading desks, insurance pricing teams, and technology-driven research divisions.
How many quantitative jobs are remote?
About 28% of quantitative openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, with the highest remote share in statistical research, risk modeling, and data-science-adjacent roles. Roles tied to live trading desks or regulated insurance pricing functions tend to require more in-office presence due to latency and compliance requirements.
How do you become a quantitative?
Start by building a strong foundation in mathematics, statistics, and programming through a bachelor's or master's degree in a quantitative field. Develop hands-on skills in Python or R and complete projects that demonstrate model-building from raw data to outputs. Internships at hedge funds, banks, or insurance firms convert academic work into professional credibility. Applying to analyst or junior researcher roles is the standard entry point into the profession.
Can you get a quantitative job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level quantitative roles exist at insurance carriers, mid-size asset managers, and fintech firms that prioritize academic training over years of experience. A strong portfolio of independent projects, a thesis with a modeling component, or a relevant internship can substitute for full-time history. Focus your applications on analyst titles rather than researcher or strategist roles, which typically require prior industry exposure.
What does the quantitative interview process look like?
Most quantitative interview processes run in three to four stages. A recruiter screen confirms your background and availability, followed by a technical phone or video assessment covering probability problems, statistics, and a coding exercise. Finalists typically complete a take-home case study involving real or simulated data, then attend an on-site or virtual loop with team members that tests both technical depth and communication of model assumptions and results.
Where can I find and apply to quantitative jobs?
You can find and apply to quantitative jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings, find roles that match your background and target firm type, and apply directly to each listing without leaving the platform.
