Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship

The Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) supports exceptional doctoral students currently pursuing a PhD in electrical engineering and computer science, mathematics, physics, or statistics. At Jane Street, we take a rigorous, quantitative approach to trading on global markets, combining techniques from machine learning, distributed systems, programmable hardware, statistics, and applied mathematics. With the Graduate Research Fellowship, we're excited to support PhD students who share our values: technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and humility. Fellows will have their full tuition and fees covered for the upcoming academic year and receive a $45,000 USD stipend to help with living expenses while completing their PhD. Fellows will also be invited to visit a Jane Street office to give a talk on any topic of their choosing to employees and other Fellowship recipients, with all expenses paid. All Finalists will receive a $5,000 monetary award, with Fellows receiving this in addition to their Fellowship stipend. PhD students who have at least one year remaining in their program or have committed to commence a PhD program at a specified university in the Fall of 2026 are eligible to apply. Students must remain in good academic standing as an active, full-time member of their PhD program at a degree-granting accredited research institution in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, or New Zealand for the duration of the academic year of the award. International students are eligible and encouraged to apply.
