Potential Collaboration with the CMCRC and Cotutelle Enrolment with Macquarie University for PhD students from JLU in the field of Finance

The Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre (CMCRC) is Australia’s leading research and development organization that provides thought leadership and break-through technology solutions for capital markets. SMARTS, the leading provider of real-time surveillance systems throughout the world, demonstrate its success.

 

CMCRC Finance Research is about providing a better understanding of market quality by examining the efficiency (transaction costs & price discovery) and integrity (insider trading, market manipulation & broker client conflict) in the Financial Market to inform both policy makers and industry stakeholders to deliver better outcomes for users of capital markets.

PhD candidates typically come from a disciplinary background including

  • Finance / Capital Markets
  • Econometrics / Actuarial Studies / Applied Mathematics
  • Computer Science / Data mining / Natural Language Processing

For PhD students at Justus Liebig University of Giessen the opportunity exists to get involved with this program together with joint or cotutelle enrolment at both the Justus Liebig University of Giessen and Macquarie University in Sydney.

 

This implies that the PhD student will spend parts of his/her PhD at Macquarie University, Justus Liebig University and a finance industry partner.
