Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship 2027–28

About this opportunity

Jane Street's Graduate Research Fellowship funds PhD students doing research in electrical engineering and computer science, mathematics, physics or statistics (closely related fields may also qualify). Winners get full tuition and fees for the upcoming academic year plus a $50,000 USD stipend; finalists receive an additional $5,000. You must be a full-time PhD student with at least one year left in your program, or be committed to start a PhD in Fall 2027, at an accredited research institution in the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand or Singapore. International students are eligible, and past finalists and honorable mentions may reapply. The application asks for a CV or résumé, a 1–2 page research statement written for a general technical audience, and contact details for your letter writers (Jane Street contacts them directly). Student applications are due November 13, 2026 (AoE); recommendation letters are due December 1, 2026 (AoE).
