The Financial Mathematics Research Group of the Department of Mathematics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) invites applications for PhD studies supported by fully funded PhD studentships. We are seeking exceptionally talented and motivated students with a strong mathematical background and interest in financial mathematics, stochastic optimal control, stochastic analysis, and related areas. The research group consists of Ofelia Bonesini, Christoph Czichowsky, Albina Danilova, Pavel Gapeev, Arne Lokka, Johannes Ruf, Luitgard Veraart and Mihail Zervos covering all areas of financial mathematics including optimal investment, pricing and hedging of financial derivatives, financial markets with frictions, optimal execution, systemic risk, applications of machine learning and stochastic optimal control. PhD students are enrolled at LSE and take part in the London Graduate School in Mathematical Finance ( https://www.londonmathfinance.org.uk ) - a consortium of f...
