 Applications for Jane Street’s 2026 Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) close on Friday, November 21st, so I’m reaching out to see if you might send one final reminder to PhD students within within the Electrical and Computer Engineering department at UW.

Jane Street’s GRF supports exceptional doctoral students in electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, and statistics. Interested students can apply here and learn more about the program on our website.

I’ve included more information about the fellowship below, and also attached a short informational flyer to this email, that you can share with students, as well as any faculty or staff who might help spread the word. We would be very appreciative if you were able to pass this along to graduate students who would benefit from hearing about GRF.

If you receive any questions, please pass them along to our team at graduate-research-fellowship@janestreet.com.

 

Thank you so much for your support!

 

Best,

Marissa
