Application Deadline: November 15th 2019
Each year the Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences, the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences Next Einstein Initiative (AIMS-NEI) invite applications for a one-year joint postdoctoral fellowship.
This fellowship is a unique position intended for new and recent PhDs
who are African nationals working in the areas of mathematical sciences
or fundamental theoretical physics. The goal of this initiative is to
support the careers of young researchers who have a commitment to
advance science in Africa.
Perimeter’s areas of strength include strong gravity, condensed
matter theory, particle physics, quantum fields & strings, quantum
gravity, quantum foundations, quantum information, mathematical physics
and cosmology.
The Fields Institute supports research in pure and applied
mathematics, statistics, and computer science, as well as collaboration
between mathematicians and those applying mathematics in areas such as
engineering, the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and
economics and finance.
While research interests for the selected fellow may dictate either Perimeter or Fields as a home institute, they will be encouraged to spend time at both institutes.
Application Procedure:
Applicants should submit a covering letter, curriculum vitae, and a description of their research interests, and arrange for three letters of reference to be sent on their behalf. Applications can be made through MathJobs.org (current listing: https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/14023).
The annual deadline for applications to the Fields-Perimeter Africa Postdoctoral Fellowship is November 15 of each year. The covering letter should include a statement about the candidate’s interest in specific research programs at Fields or Perimeter, as well as names of faculty members at Fields, Perimeter, or Ontario universities with whom the candidate may be interested in working.
