Postdoctoral Fellows and Program Visitors
Postdoctoral fellowship
applications
We will support a number of Fields postdocs for the duration of
the program, as well as offer support towards a visitors' program,
including visiting Ph.D. students To apply for a postdoctoral fellowship
see postdoctoral web page.
Program Participants requesting support
or office space
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community.
Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are
requested to apply by filling out the application
form. Additional support is available (pending NSF funding)
to support junior US visitors to this program.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical
sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities.
Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the
community, and to encourage the participation of women and members
of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
