Moreton Capital Partners is seeking a Machine Learning Researcher to join our team. We are live trading across integral commodity futures, supported by an investment process rooted in machine learning.

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 an applied ML specialist with several years of experience building and shipping models. A PhD is a plus, not required. You will work directly with the CIO and sit alongside the quant research team to turn ML ideas into live trading signals. Your research will ship to production and directly impact portfolio returns.

What You Will Work On

Designing predictive models for cross-sectional and time-series commodity returns
Developing and improving features from price, weather, satellite, cash pricing, macro, and alternative datasets
Improving signal robustness and reducing overfitting through rigorous validation




Combining and blending multiple models into portfolio-level forecasts
Regime detection, meta-models, and adaptive allocation frameworks
Model diagnostics, explainability, and stability analysis
Translating research ideas into production-ready implementations
Collaborating with engineers to deploy models into live trading systems

Key Responsibilities

Formulate research hypotheses and test them using clean, time-aware ML pipelines
Build and evaluate models (tree-based, linear, ensemble, deep learning, etc.)
Run walk-forward and out-of-sample experiments with realistic costs
Analyze information coefficients, turnover, drawdowns, and risk-adjusted returns
Design feature engineering frameworks and reusable research tooling
Document findings clearly and communicate results to portfolio managers
Contribute to improving research standards, reproducibility, and processes

Requirements
