We are excited to announce the launch of the Jane Street Graduate Research Fellowship!
This is a one-year fellowship for exceptional doctoral students currently pursuing a PhD in mathematics, computer science, 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. Our culture is steeped in games, puzzles, and challenging problems. With the Graduate Research Fellowship, we’re excited to support PhD students who share our values: technical excellence, intellectual curiosity, and humility.
See below for more details and feel free to direct questions to graduate-research-fellowship@janestreet.com.

University eligibility
In general, PhD fellowships require university-specific legal negotiations; we currently have arrangements with several institutions and are actively working on growing this list. Meanwhile, we are happy to award fellowships to students in programs at universities where we do not yet have an agreement in place. If accepted, we will work with your program to arrange the award of your fellowship. Universities must be accredited research institutions in the United States that award doctoral degrees.
