Jump Trading PhD Fellowship

The Jump Trading PhD Fellowship looks to push the frontiers of science by supporting outstanding PhD candidates. Fellows receive a grant to cover one complete academic year of tuition, fees, and approximately $50,000 stipend, subject to university guidelines. The fellowship is awarded across six research tracks including Chemical/Biological/Biomedical Sciences, Mathematics & Statistics, Physics, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, and Earth Sciences. Fellows are invited but not required to visit a Jump office, present their research, and connect with their team. The funder expects to award at least one fellowship in each of the six tracks. Applicants must be PhD candidates with at least one academic year remaining when the fellowship begins in Fall 2026, enrolled at an accredited academic or research institution in the US, and must demonstrate strong academic record and research productivity in their field.
