The Global Quantitative Strategies PhD Fellowship looks to advance PhD candidates’ research in mathematics, engineering, technology and science. Three GQS PhD Fellows will be eligible to receive a grant of up to $100,000 to fund their research.

Our firm’s ambition is to be the world’s most successful investment team, supporting the missions of the world’s preeminent institutions. Our success depends on curious, talented people who solve challenging quantitative problems with rigor and teamwork.

The GQS PhD Fellowship will propel the research of PhD candidates who share our hands‑on approach to solving problems that matter. Three Fellowships will be awarded: one in Mathematics/Statistics, one in Physics, and one in Computer Science/Electrical Engineering.

If you’re ambitious, driven and committed to focusing on research that can deliver real impact—whatever the problem you’re solving—we encourage you to apply.

We know that applying for funding is time‑consuming, so we’ve made the GQS PhD Fellowship application simple.

Applicants must:

• Complete the application form on the Citadel website that best aligns with your research focus and upload a current CV by February 28, 2026.
