There is a variety of backgrounds in the department with team academic members who are econometricians, economists, psychologists and physicists. However, we all share one passion: building models and algorithms, and deciphering data! Our team is close. We have lunch together and often take walks, go running or cycling together. Many of us are actively involved in Young Aegon – which organizes fun get-togethers, the Christmas gala and the annual ski trip. We regularly get together after work and have fun.

What will you be getting?

Together with  MICompany we want to make you the best financial services data analyst in Data Intelligence. In addition, we offer:
