G-Research Mathematics PhD Studentship

In 2026, two studentships funded by a generous donation from G-Research, will be awarded to outstanding postgraduate students undertaking PhDs within the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics with a preference for those working on machine learning and AI modelling. Funding is available for one Home fee status student and one Overseas fee status student. The successful candidates will join a cohort of postgraduate students supported by G-Research across the University. This studentship provides comprehensive funding covering university fees for both home and international students, maintenance allowance, student visa costs, immigration health surcharge, and a conference/travel grant of £1,500 per annum. Additionally, a return ticket from the country of origin to the United Kingdom is provided where applicable. The award duration is 42 months (3.5 years) and is extendable when formal sick leave or parental leave is granted. Additional career development opportunities and relationship with G-Research are offered, including bi-annual career mentorship meetings with a G-Research Quantitative Researcher, a place on the company's Spring into Quant Finance Program during the second year, presentation and seminar invitations, annual dinners, and brand ambassador status. Awards are granted on the basis of academic merit. Successful applicants may be contacted during their course by the Department and/or CUDAR to provide a short account of their progress and experience at DAMTP for reporting purposes to the donors of this award.
