Sell side S&T question

I know several roles on the buy side that are heavy on statistics, econometrics, optimization, time series analysis but wondering what roles exactly on the sell-side esp in S&T and/or Research Strategy use these methods often. Here's a few desks / roles I had in mind but they probably don't exactly rely on the stuff I'm looking for:

+ Exotics desks - Continuous time finance (pretty uncomfortable with it)
+ Structured Credit - Maybe while structuring / pricing, but not 100% sure.
+ RMBS - Maybe building projections models?
+ Equity / FI / FX Strategy - Building relative value models?
+ Rates - PCA is used a lot from what I've heard but again not 100% sure.

Basically I've seen a lot of job posts demanding statistical skills for the buyside, but not sure if similar roles exist on the sell side.
