I'd love to do this. I think I might be in a position to do so soon, as I'm setting up some businesses to (cross fingers) generate me some income without the daily stress of staring at the markets.
I'm interested in doing this in the UK, the south if I have to show up somewhere. It would be something that requires a lot of coding and contains a heavy statistical element. A friend of mine got a full time phd where he could basically sit on his computer all day and crunch numbers. His was in biology, so I doubt I have the qualifications, but my background is in Engineering (and economics). I also have considerably more coding experience than he had.
Is there some resource where I can find some likely places to do this?
A lot of universities in the UK offer part-time PhDs. You might like to try visiting the websites of universities close to you to find out more information. There are postgraduate fairs around the country from time to time, which may be a good opportunity to speak to different university faculties.
The Prospects website allows you to search for PhD courses. Here is a link to the search results for part-time PhDs in the "computer sciences and IT" category, but you can adjust the filters to narrow down the selection:
